Drouhin/Joseph Mâcon-Villages 2021

90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2021 Mâcon-Villages from Maison Joseph Drouhin is a lovely example of the vintage, with a vibrant and precise bouquet of lemon, pear, a touch of fresh pineapple, chalky, toasty soil tones, spring flowers and a topnote of orange zest. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and zesty, with a good core, fine soil undertow and lift and a long, wide open and bouncy finish. This is quite lovely. 2023-2030. (Jul/Aug 2023)"

Site: a large terroir in the south of Burgundy, close to Pouilly-Fuissé. The size of this region allows considerable freedom in selecting wines with different characteristics. Soil: clay and chalk dating from the Jurassic era are very favourable to the cultivation of the Chardonnay grape.
