I have oft been sorely disappointed with seemingly half-decent French whites - what a bâtard say I.
Here is the pay back....expected little but got he whole nine yards, well, eight serpently.
Say no more...

Well done Aldi. Bugger, I passed a big one today, (yes Aldi) and hadn't seen your post. Damn. '09 is nice, and so is that price. |

Second tonight. It is not a "quality" Maçon and it ain't £50 +. A fine example of cheapo's. For me, the best of the rest. |

Tried this at the weekend. I was not keen on the nose at first. Rotten apples that have started to ferment. Thankfully this subsides fairly quickly. The initial flavour is good but its a little short and thin. Not bad for the price and the initial stink apart perfectly fine. Its like a watered down version of Jadot's Macon's. I'd rather pay the extra for those though. |

Thanks Tribs, You've done me another favour, Saves me the bother in stopping by there. I've ordered a couple of Chanson's Macon villages '09. I too prefer to spend the extra on cheap white burgundy - avoiding disappointment, and return hassles is worth a few sqidds. I'm not knocking Ba's TN - no way - But I like my Macon blanc, Just So. BTW - Sorry about the Gulf Station '08 PN - however you may find it OK, it isn't a crude and heavy and commercial NW pinot, just not, "Just So", for me. |

The Gulf Station, Mrs T picked them up for me. "Make sure its the 08" I told her. She managed to find a few at the back behind all the 09's. 
Will give it a try at some point. I have 2. Is it worth waiting at all? I opened the Ttd Chilean PN made by Montes. Unfortunately as is the case with most Chilean PN, its too hot.

Strange, I would happily swap 6 Montes Alpha for 5 of these. |

Sorry Mr T, the '08 got the better TNs, I have to interpolate from adding-up all the pros & cons. It is worth waiting. but for you to suss-it-out, please take one now, and then decide. I've put the other one on the back-burner. I was overly negative cos I'd read other TNs that turned out to be duff from my perspective. |
