Talmard’s 2020 Mâcon-Chardonnay displays excellent tension to balance the vintage’s ripe fruit and deep concentration — the quintessential “sunshine in a bottle” that makes Mâcon so appealing.
Very brambly, rich and attractive tobacco, red and dark fruit and wild herbs. The palate has richness and an attractive feel with great core flesh and balance. The combination of quality, good value and accessibility here make this quite unique.
White stone fruit, almond and a whiff of pressed Spanish broom shape the delicate nose. The fresh, rounded palate doles out ripe apple, white peach and a hint of citrus before a juicy close.
Juicy kumquat and lively grapefruit aromas and flavors are laced with hints of white peach and honey with a pleasing streak of minerality throughout. Beautifully balanced with just the right amount of racy acidity, the off-dry finish is long and clean.
