Cheap white Burgundy: Cave de Viré Macon Villages Vieilles Vignes 2022

Cheap for a Burgundy, that is. Prices of the region increased significantly in recent years – this costs 12,97€ and you won’t find many anymore below this price tag. And it’s just a plain white Macon…

A pleasant wine, flawless, balanced, but quite simple – really entry level for Burgundy. Ripe stone fruits with a bit oxidative character. Soft, smooth palate. Easy to drink, acidity is on the lower side, too, it’s short. Drink up soon, before 2024 summer ends. A good mid-week quaffer, but overpriced, you will find lots of better whites from other regions at half the price. 85 points, 12,97€ or at vinatis.de, £14.51 in the UK.
