Well after the Pinotage (I didn't drink it all-don't worry) I had to see what else I had in the wine rack/fridge. Luckily in the fridge was one of my favourite everyday drinking whites - this little Mâcon-Villages by Joseph Drouhin.
For those in the know - Drouhin is a very large négociant in Beaune, on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. The range of wines from this very famous producer is immense and the price/quality ratio is without competition in my opinion.
Drinking the wine chilled but not too cold - the nose reveals aromas of white flowers and slight hints of cashew nuts. On the palate we find a rich wine, nutty but not too overpowering.
One would expect a big, opulent Chardonnay packed with butter and hazelnuts as one would normally get from a Meursault or Chassagne-Montrachet. The Mâcon has this to a certain extent but not too much, which renders the wine far easier to drink. A class wine.
