Year: 2022 

Vinous, 90 Points 

"The 2022 Mâcon-Uchizy Les Maranches has a more austere bouquet demanding some coaxing from the glass. The palate is well-balanced with a saline entry and fine weight in the mouth. Not complex per se, yet it feels quite long and spicy on the finish. Fine." 

Decanter, 

"This distinctive wine has forward, ripe aromas of peach and nectarine with an almost tropical edge and notes of acacia flowers and spice. The grapes come from one parcel separated into the upper and the lower part; the east-facing vines look over the Saône. The older vines have a portion of Chardonnay Muscaté. The grapes are fermented and aged in large used oak foudres to craft this delicious wine that should be ready to drink on release and over the next five years." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
