At my first taste of this I thought 'Wiw this is a good value Mâconnais at $21 retail' I was drinking it on the warmer side of cool- 50-60 deg F. It was distinct in aromas and captured the limestone sight very well. The next time I met this wine it was served refrigerator cold and my perception changed completely - like going from a 90 point wine to a cheap bulk imitation missing a lot of the nose and the limestone softness which was overcome by an acidity of bulk wine quality. I have a hard time believing it's the same wine from the same year. There is going to have to be a 3rd sample- this mystery can't remain unsolved.
