Michel Barraud - 2016 ‘Les Pierres Dorées’ Macon-Villages (Chardonnay) - Burgundy, France The wind is so ferociousMade to the specifications of the importers, Michael and Harmon Skurnik, this Chardonnay from the Macon region of Burgundy is produced by Vieilles Vignes, old vines, and then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to protect the subtle fruit character of the wine. This is a mineral, and elegant wine at an astonishing price.
