Domaine Sainte-Barbe 'Jean-Marie Chaland' Mâcon Blanc 2023 Gifts

Domaine Sainte-Barbe 'Jean-Marie Chaland' Mâcon Blanc 2023 GiftsVery pretty, medium bodied Chardonnay from the southerly terroir of the Mconnais. Domaine Sainte Barbe has been farming their nine or so hectares of vineyards organically for over 20 years; this wine represents just a solid, well expressed version of this appellation. A nice alternative if you're looking for affordable Burgundy but want to be able to drink it young and without a lot of fuss.
