Cordier's Bourgogne Blanc is entitled to the Macon-Villages appellation, however, according to him, the market is more responsive if he declassifies it. This sad state of affairs reflects the fact that the vast majority of wines bearing the Macon moniker are mediocre, produced from machine harvested high yielding vineyards. When producers start declassifying wines in order to sell them it should serve as a wake up call to the bureaucrats that set the standards for the appellation. That being said, this offering has a lovely nose composed of stone and chalk aromas and a soft, well-extracted, balanced, and rich character. Its dried white fruit, nut, and mineral flavors could have elevated this wine to a higher rating if it had a longer finish. Drink it over the next 3 years.
