2022 Mâcon-Loché En Près Forêt

Tasting Notes
Tasting
A wine of immediate pleasure, though ten years in the cellar holds no fear for it. Floral and lemony notes on the nose; the attack is fresh, supported by a balanced structure enriched with aromas of ripe fruit. Its generosity on the palate makes it an ideal cuvée for the aperitif and the start of a meal. To your health.
