4.00 / 5.0750 ml@Goodwine

I'm quite fond of this wine. True, it doesn't boast complexity, but drinking it is an absolute delight. It offers a charming bouquet, brimming with notes of raspberries, the essence of an autumn forest floor, spices, and red flowers. Its roundness and juiciness are what I especially enjoy, embodying the essence of a delicate, non-extractive glou-glou style. However, the pricing leaves much to be desired, feeling unjustifiably high for what it offers.

3.90 / 5.0750 ml@Goodwine · Burgundy 101: Chablis, Côte Chalonnaise, et Mâcon

This wine features an aromatic and slightly floral bouquet, with nuances of red fruits – some dried – red flowers, spices, barberry candy, and notes of a damp forest floor. It's juicy with moderate acidity, offering a round and prolonged aftertaste. Delicious, with a hint of bitterness in the finish. Despite its rating, it stands out as my second favourite wine of the night.

Wine #5 on Burgundy 101: Chablis, Côte Chalonnaise, et Mâcon event.
