RKS 2024 Wine: A Rare Red Wine From Mâcon

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, ,

Mâcon lies within the Burgundian wine area of France. One thinks of low-cost Chardonnay but red wine from the Mâcon is not often seen in Ontario. This red Mâcon is the lowest tier Mâcon. It is a Gamay.

Aroma: Bright and cheerful cherry accented with raspberry and milk chocolate. Simple and right at you.

Palate: Moderate tannins. No fruit gangbusters here. Reticent cherry, raspberry with a shortish and blunt finish.

Personality: I am a proud Mâconnais however low and basic my rank is. And I am a good quaff better with food than for sipping.

Food Match: Seared duck breast in a Late Bottle Vintage Port and cherry reduction.

Cellarbility: Might slip into elegance by 2025. Consume by 2026 year end.

Price: $20 CDN (Ontario).

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 91/100.
