Rated 16.5/20
About the wine:
These basic cuvées are always interesting because they highlight the quality of the work done by a company on large volumes. Ripe, rich, clean aromas of fruit and flowers. On the palate, the wine is rich and charming, yet retains a lovely freshness.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Les Vignerons des Terres secrètes is the heir to the cooperative movement that emerged in the Mâconnais in the early 20th century. This association, born of the merger of the Prissé, Sologny and Verzé cooperative wineries, now manages some 950 ha of vines (for 120 cooperative members), mainly planted with Chardonnay.

Tasted in 2017. No length, little body ... Not unpleasant but really disappointing. Domaine du Tunnel for a few € more is so much better.

Pleasant, promising nose. Unfortunately, the flavours on the palate are not up to scratch: flat. Drink quickly.

white burgundies are often too expensive, this one is good and very affordable. That said, I ordered a 2011 and they delivered a 2012!

Note and review by M. MICHELE D. Published on 11/06/2014
The taste doesn't match the pleasant fruit and floral aromas, but overall it's a good wine to be enjoyed with the right food pairing and at a temperature that's not too cold.
