Taste test: white Burgundy

We head to the Mâconnais, Burgundy, and rate three of the area’s finest whites. But which one prevailed?

OUR VERDICT

MÂCON-PIERRECLOS 2016 DOMAINE CHÂTEAU DE PIERRECLOS

Do you go gaga for organic? This crisp number won’t disappoint. Subtly flavoured and easy-drinking, this delicate Burgundy is a touch above the rest. €12.90

MÂCON-LUGNY “SAINT-PIERRE” DOMAINE JOSEPH LAFARGE

Smooth and deliciously aromatic, it is our go-to palate cleanser. A refreshing apéro and companion to meats and fish alike, there’s no dish it can’t elevate! €9.20

MÂCON LA ROCHE VINEUSE “LES RONZETTES” 2016 CHÂTEAU DE LA GREFFIÈRE

With its sweet hints of apple and vanilla, this moreish Mâcon is as versatile as they come – and the perfect thirst-quencher on a hot summer’s day. €15
