Wine tasting
- Tasting NotePale yellow in color, Macon Villages 2008 reveals a nose that is very developed and aromatic, with notes of honey and acacia blossoms. It is broad and balanced, and the finale is lightly minerally. This wine has great length and can be enjoyed immediately. Tasted July 8th, 2009.
