Domaine du Mont Épin - Mâcon-Péronne L'Etoile 2023
92/100
Vinous
"This Burgundian gem shines in terms of affordability and flavor: a truly beautiful wine, according to Vinous!"
“The 2023 Mâcon-Péronne L'Étoile was a little star when I tasted it last year—no pun intended. It seems to have closed up a bit over the past 12 months, though the limestone soils continue to shine and lend it an alluring minerality. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with lively acidity and a texture that’s slightly oilier than I remember, but still with that long, soft finish. Very lovely. 2025–2034” (Vinous 2025)

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
The Mont Épin estate is the second estate owned by brothers Richard and Stéphane Martin, of La Croix Sénaillet de Davayé; it was acquired in 2015, and its vineyards are located around Mont Épin. It comprises 15 hectares divided into four terroirs and two appellations: Mâcon-Péronne (seven hectares) and Viré-Clessé. The estate is in the process of converting to organic farming to remain true to the same philosophy as in Davayé, and the wines are produced in two cuvées from Péronne and two from Viré-Clessé, featuring a rather charming style thanks to ripe harvests. These wines are perfect for pairing with food.
