Vintage Cellar Tasting: Dom de la Condemine


Name: Dom de la Condemine Macon-Peronne "Le Clou"
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Burgundy 
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price:  Originally $19. On sale for $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


Macy's Review: I usually do not enjoy Chardonnay's; however this wine was amazing.  I was unable to taste specific flavors, so I thought it was very well balanced and flavorful.  I did not buy a bottle, and I now regret it.  I would drink this again and again.  At $7.95 on sale, this is a steal for a Burgundy Chardonnay.
