Harvested at 13.9% natural potential alcohol, the 2000 Macon Au Bois d'Allier displays pear-like aromas and a light to medium-bodied, lush, satin-textured core of fruit. It bursts on the palate with minerals, spices, crisp apples, as well as hints of gravel. It is refreshing, expressive, and well-balanced. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
