The inviting Joseph Drouhin Mâcon-Bussières Les Clos 2021 hails from the village of Bussières on Mont du Mâconnais, close to Pouilly-Fuissé. 2021 was a classical vintage, and this wine shows the energy and elegance associated with Drouhin – one of Burgundy’s foremost ambassadors.
The Héritiers du Comte Lafon Mâcon-Villages Blanc 2022 is among our go-to Chardonnays and ‘offers spectacular value’, writes Decanter. It’s a blend of fruit from Viré-Clessé, Uchizy, Viré, Chardonnay and Bussières, including declassified single-vineyard sites. Fill your boots!
‘The Maconnais has a wellspring of delicious and affordable Chardonnay that it could be argued is only now demonstrating what it’s finest terroirs can achieve.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous
