2017 Mâcon-Uchizy, Domaine de l`Arfentière

“Inexpensive Mâcon is often bland, feeble and lacking in drive. This region manages to pump out oceans of the stuff every year to fill the shelves and much of it is dreary to say the least. Made by well-known local expert Raphaël Sallet, this wine is anything but boring. Pithy and active on the palate, there is a raspy, lemon zest edge to this silky wine which keeps you on the tips of your toes. This may be an entry level Mâcon but it drinks like a much classier and more sophisticated beast. It wants to live in your fridge door rather than your cellar, such is its immediate appeal.” – Matthew Jukes
