2 bottles  -- 2013 Macon-Bussieres Domaine Gonon

Jean-François Gonon crafts this deliciously compelling Macon from vines planted on the finest slopes at the foot of the famous Solutre Cliffs in the village of Bussieres. Brilliant gold in the glass, Gonon’s Bussieres opens with Puligny-like aromas of acacia blossoms, green pear and smoky minerals. Brisk and soil-driven on the palate, the wine fleshes out mid-palate to reveal notes of raw cashews, lemon curd and limestone minerals. As it warms, it gains weight, texture and complexity, finally finishing with a latent, satisfying buttery richness. Enjoy the 2013 Gonon now and over the coming five years.
