Tasting-Macon-Peronne "Le Clou"

Name: Dom de la Condemine Macon-Peronne "Le Clou"
Variety: Chardonnay 
Region: Burgundy
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $7.95


Vintage Cellar Review: Made from 100% Chardonnay. Sustainable agriculture: very low use of chemicals.  Their philosophy is to produce a wine in the traditional style of Mâcon, with minimal intervention and not use of Oak.  The soils is made of Clay and Limestone (Argilo-Calcaire) and the parcels are located right next to Viré Clessé Appelatio.  A light golden hue, floral aromas. Intense, clean and fresh on the palate. Citrus notes, bold acidity. Excellent match to seafood with butter or cream sauces or rich blue cheeses.

My Review: The aroma was quite fruity but I couldn't determine which fruits specifically. The taste was more dry and gave me a sense of acid-type tastes. There were hints of sour grape fruit on the taste of this wine. I didn't particularly enjoy it, but it wasn't terrible.
