Natalie's Score: 88/100

Mâcon-Verzé, is an intriguing region and village in southern Burgundy, whose wines are still little known. This version features aromas of lemon, lime, green apple and hints of fresh ginger showing the region’s Chardonnay in a good light. This tangy wine is a very nice aperitif. Mildly flavoured but I like it! White peach and melon with some green apple notes. Refreshing, clean and crisp.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled pork chops.

Superbly balanced, this wine took its all from the vintage but without falling into excess. A mineral edge enlivens a rich, suave body and returns crisply at the end of a long, orchard fruit-filled finish. Score: 16 (out of 20) Source: Gaultmillau

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
