Auvigue Mâcon-Villages 2006

Preface: This is my chance to clean out a bit of a stockpile I had built up of these things. Call me obsessive...


Region:
Mâcon-Villages, Burgundy, France
Grapes: Chardonnay
Price: $17
Alcohol Level: 13%

Chardonnay. The most popular varietal of wine in America. This wine, from the taste, has not seen much oak. If you like a big, woody Chardonnay you need to look elsewhere. This wine is a beautiful pale-gold in color and has a sweet and slightly citrus aroma. Upon taste, you are greeted with a very subtle acidity and a nice fruity (somewhat citrusy) mouthful. The finish can only be described as lemony. Would be great with a seafood meal.

Nothing that really stands out, but a really solid bottle of wine.
