Some of the everyday wines I recently bought in Auchan weren’t that good (Versant Royal 2019, a Bordeaux Superior, declining, and the Pierre Chanau Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes 2020 too green and raw), but their range is still quite reliable. I enjoyed this Macon, too. Burgundy wines are hardly as cheap as this nowadays, yet it’s far better than just acceptable.

Classic Burgundy, even though it’s made of gamay. It doesn’t taste like a Beaujolais at all. Perfumed, delicate and bone dry, has the finesse one expects from the region. Pretty cherry notes, good intensity. Hardly medium-bodied, tight with lively acidity and balanced tannins. Not complex but quite pretty and just spot on. 86 points, great value, bought at 2200 HUF (5,5 EUR) at Auchan.
