Description
Made from 45-year-old vines, this Mâcon Villages from Nicolas Maillet shines with its simplicity and delicious flavour. The nose is delicate, with aromas of fruit and pear. The attack on the palate is pleasant, giving way to a lovely roundness and aromas of white fruit, with a very long, tangy finish.
