Anyone else tense up when they see a label like this?! In this case, the appellation’s wine board has created some phenomenal resources; click the button below for information on Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse (mac-on la rhoshe vin-ooze).

Chardonnay can be a polarizing grape variety. Love it? Hate it? Tolerate it?

Our staff tends to reach for clean and crisp chardonnay, rather than buttery and oaky styles. This bottle is somewhat in between. The southern region of Macon produces a richer style of Chardonnay than the regions in the north but a leaner style than its US counterparts. We hope you enjoy it!
