Louis Jadot Mâcon Villages

Louis Jadot Mâcon Villages has become one of my go-to white wines. It’s a very refreshing, unoaked Chardonnay from Burgundy that has seen me through all variety of weeknight meals, from a creamy tahini potato salad to shrimp, black bean, and kimchi tacos. Its light, bright flavors of apple and lemon are so easy to match—and delicious to sip before the meal, too!

Grapes

100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

The wine shows floral, apple and citrus aromas and flavors, with mineral notes; a classic expression of Chardonnay from this appellation.
