Cave de Talmard, Macon Uchizy

The Maconnais region has many villages that produce excellent quality and value Chardonnays, often on a par with some of the more expensive wines from the Cote d'Or. This village though is really famous for the Talmard family who now make two wines in slightly varying styles. This is clean and fresh and bright, with juicy flavours of ripe apple and pear. It's great to have with lighter foods like salads and soups, but is also able to match fine dinners and roasts.
