We tasted this wine Thursday and one of our Wine professionals turned round and said ‘Oh yes this is Meursault or maybe Chassagne Montrachet, how much $60 a bottle. When he heard what we could sell this wine for, he could not believe it. The Domaine des Grange Macon Village 2022 shows you what can be achieved in the Macon with the right people and raw materials. This is definitely one of the best buys we have seen this year for white Burgundy. The wine is brought to us by one of the leaders in the Macon, Yannick Paquet, third generation making wines in this bastion of Chardonnay and one of the oldest family’s in the Macon. Macon is home to the great Pouilly-Fuisse and this wine is predominantly from Paquet vineyards in Pouilly-Fuisse. Thanks to the property’s higher elevation and the calcareous soil, there’s a beautiful lift and complexity that’s in perfect balance with a creamy richness. This is great terroir for white Burgundy!
