Cask sample. Light stony lemon aroma. Tight, beautifully dry, long and refined at this level. The aftertaste has a lovely creamy side to balance the dry texture and freshness.
The 2022 Mâcon-Uchizy Les Maranches has a more austere bouquet demanding some coaxing from the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a saline entry and fine weight in the mouth. Not complex per se, yet it feels quite long and spicy on the finish. Fin...
