Shop Review: "Made from 100% Chardonnay. Sustainable agriculture: very low use of chemicals.  Their philosophy is to produce a wine in the traditional style of Mâcon, with minimal intervention and not use of Oak.  The soils is made of Clay and Limestone (Argilo-Calcaire) and the parcels are located right next to Viré Clessé Appelatio.  A light golden hue, floral aromas. Intense, clean and fresh on the palate. Citrus notes, bold acidity. Excellent match to seafood with butter or cream sauces or rich blue cheeses." - Vintage Cellar

My Review: This wine smelled like vanilla extract with maybe a few little floral hints. It was extremely smooth and rich when tasting. There was kind of a creaminess to this wine that I really liked. This wine gave me a huge rush of sweetness on the palate, and it was definitely a very bold wine that I would consider drinking again. 

Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
