Chateau de Messey, Macon-Cruzille Clos des Avoueries 2022 Auxerrois Montifaud XO Silver exudes notesThis is the fullest expression of the Clos more like Montrachet, this is deeper and more complex than most Macon. Rich but not overly so, it has lovely ripe apple aromas with an elegant nuttiness and oak notes. It pairs very well with langoustines, or scallops, crab on toast or any white fish like hake or halibut.
