dried thyme and sweet smoke

Montifaud XO Silver exudes notes of dense fruit like apricots & plums

The finish is refreshingly dry and mineral-driven with a lingering salinity

Does anyone really think of Syrah when they think of Argentina

Entwined within a complex deep core of red and purple fruit aromas

Chateau de Messey, Macon-Cruzille Clos des Avoueries 2022 Auxerrois dried thyme and sweet smokeThis is the fullest expression of the Clos more like Montrachet, this is deeper and more complex than most Macon. Rich but not overly so, it has lovely ripe apple aromas with an elegant nuttiness and oak notes. It pairs very well with langoustines, or scallops, crab on toast or any white fish like hake or halibut.
