The Society's White Burgundy, Macon-Villages

Much trepidation as I opened this. To some extent the wisdom of my Wine Society membership fee will stand and fall on the quality of it's own range wines. This one came in at £7.50 thus, not everyday drinking, more mid range.

Massively impressed with this. Real buttery, slightly honeyed minerality to it. Reminded me a great deal of the fabled St VĂ©ran Domaine de la Croix Senaillet which now seems to have shot up to £16 a bottle or even higher (further evidence that St Veran is no longer a fertile hunting ground for sensibly priced white burgundy, if that isn't a contradiction in terms). This is arguably the best value wine I've had all year. Will be stocking up on this without a doubt.
