The Michel Lelu Macon - Villages French Chardonnay is a very refreshing and light bodied white wine that is perfect for summer sipping. It is very Non California Chardonnay tasting. Very little oak or heavy hand here. This is a 2009 white wine that is ready to enjoy now alone or with some cold seafood.
For people who say they don't like Chardonnay - this white village burgundy is perfect and should have no enemies. Light and zesty.
Aroma is light with some lemon and lime and a hint of white pepper. The taste is more watery than California and other more dense Chardonnays. I would recommend the 2009 Michel Lelu Chardonnay for Sauvignon Blanc lovers who like the citrus zest in their white wine but prefer lighter and less green white wines - without a heavy oaky or bigger bodied Chardonnay. It is missing some acidity that I like in my white wines, but that is a matter of preference imo.
This goes down real easy though! - especially on a hot summer day like I have here :) 12.5 alcohol is integrated very well. Price was very right as well. Under $20 which is a big bonus.
