2018 Vins Auvigue Macon-Villages

Domaine Auvigue faces the majestic Rock of Solutré, in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation and the Auvigue family have been making wine there since 1946. The grapes for this wine come from family estates covering 6 hectares, including 2ha that have been organically farmed for over 20 years, in the Mâcon-Solutré and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations. The wine is aged on lees for 6 months to promote complexity and texture.
Brilliant pale straw colour with a subtle glimmer of green around the edges and a watery hue. Showing good aromatic intensity are pear and bees wax scents followed by notions of lemon butter, light bacon fat and spicy nougat. Rich and very creamy around the edges the palate possesses a mouthfilling flavour profile of poached pears, bees wax and honeycomb which is underpinned by lemon butter, nougat and delicate spice. Finishes dry with good freshness and long cream tinged aftertaste that sees traces of hazelnut emerge.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
