Tasting notes
The 2015 Mâcon-Prissé debuted in 2014 and Dominique Lafon told me that it was originally intended to be blended into the Mâcon Villages. It has a sharp, easygoing orange zest-scented bouquet that feels a little constricted at the moment. The palate is balanced with crisp acidity, moderate depth and a tang of orange rind on the short finish. I suspect that there will be better to come.

In 2014 they bought some St-Véran and Mâcon-Prissé came with it . Too good to put in Mâcon-Villages. 7,000 bottles produced. Excellent savoury stuff. Maybe not for long term but VGV . (JR)
(from vines planted on east-facing limestone soil in 1990 and 1980; just the second vintage for this bottling): Bright lemon-yellow. High-pitched aromas of yellow fruits and flowers complemented by a sexy smoky quality. Fruitier and sweeter than the Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine; more classic Mâconnais wine in its easygoing style. Plenty of acid support here (4.5 grams per liter); in fact, a touch bitter on the finish.
