Wafting from the glass with aromas of mandarin orange, citrus blossom and fresh peach, the 2018 Macon-Uchizy Les Maranches is medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, with a fleshy core of fruit and a charming, seamless profile.

The 2017 Macon-Uchizy Les Maranches unfurls with aromas of freshly baked bread, warm oatmeal, yellow apples and subtle hints of smoke. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, though it retains the domaine's signature precision. There's some muscaté Chardonnay planted here, and that likely lends the wine some additional generosity.

The 2016 Macon-Uchizy Les Maranches reveals aromas of lemon oil, dried white flowers, beeswax and toasted hazelnuts, framed by light reduction.

The 2015 Macon Uchizy les Maranches has a clean and precise bouquet, quite chalky and well defined, a more neutral take on Macon that expresses more of the terroir rather than fruit. The palate is fresh on the entry with crisp acidity, not quite as detailed as I was expecting after the aromatics but with satisfying weight on the spicy, quite sappy finish.
