Note di degustazione
The 2011 Mâcon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne is already open and expressive, wafting from the glass with scents of pear, fresh pastry, green apple and a deft touch of oak vanillin. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and open-knit, with succulent acids, a charming core of fruit, and a nicely defined finish. Guffens describes 2011 as a vintage with a little bit too much crop, a little bit too hot and then a bit too rainy. "We missed a great vintage, but it's a good all-rounder."

The 2011 Mâcon-Pierreclos Tri de Chavigne, which was picked extremely early according to Guffens, has a gentle, unassuming bouquet that unfolds to reveal fresh pear, dried honey and light earthy aromas. The palate is well balanced with quite a rich, generous opening, a slightly viscous texture and notes of ginger and lemongrass toward the persistent finish. Excellent.
Broad, some spice and botrytis. Very rich underneath and nice balance. Undertow of butterscotch. Quite big. So long. Guffens says the vintage was diluted but he seems to have countered this extremely successfully, perhaps because h e picked very early. Lovely satisfying, flattering stuff. (JR)
Matchstick tension but then just a little too soft. Round. (JR)
