TN: 2011 Jadot Mâcon-Villages

WINE TALK
1

In this day and age, it’s all too common to overspend on a bottle of Burgundy that ultimately under-delivers at its price point. Thankfully, an unassuming bottle of 2011 Jadot Mâcon-Villages really helped me see just how great Burgundy’s QPR can be once you venture outside the Côte-d’Or.

While this is certainly not in the same league as many of its more expensive neighbors, that doesn’t negate the fact that this wine is bringing some serious value to the table. The nose is slightly oily, grassy, and lemony with a touch of cream. This guy enters the palate with some zinging acidity and minerals. By mid-palate, the wine finds some nice weight and apple/pear/lemon fruit. Although there’s nothing quite complex about the wine, it is very well structured and offers a wonderful snapshot of a well-made Chardonnay to the novice drinker. 88 pts.

Maybe…had an '86 Bourgogne Blanc that was still upright recently.
