Mâcon Davayé 2023, Domaine de la Chapelle

This beautiful Mâcon comes from Davaye near the limestone slopes of the Solutré Hill. The old vines face fully south and benefit from the sun and one of the best terroirs in the region. This wine has undergone aging in oak barrels, but the fruit remains in the foreground. The Chardonnay has a medium yellow color, a brilliant shine and tears in the glass, with an exotic scent of mango, ripe pear, almond and passion fruit. It is a full, creamy oakey wine with pleasant acidity. The level is comparable to a Pouilly Fuissé, but more attractively priced!
