91 JG "The 2006 Villy-Lamartine bottling is excellent, and one of my favorites in the cellar amongst this stellar line up of Mâconnais wines. This village is located in the south of the Mâconnais (not far from the best village in Pouilly-Fuissé, Vergisson) at higher elevation and is all planted on terres blanches soils. The result in 2006 is a stellar bottle of wine, that jumps from the glass in a mineral bath of peach, spring flowers, orange zest and a great base of stoniness. On the palate the wine is medium-full and very deep, with great soil inflection, snappy acids and great grip on the very long and beautifully focused finish. A terrific bottle of Mâcon."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
