More Macon

Macon, as I remarked last week, is a difficult wine which you need to choose wisely. To the handful I recommended - including the lovely Macon-Lugny Les Charmes, a really classy old favourite - I would now  like to add another, a 2013 Macon-Villages Chapelle aux  Loups, which Waitrose has reduced from £11.99 to £8.99 a bottle.

The new price seems about right to me. It is not a great white Macon but it is an enjoyable one. good with shellfish or on its own, and with an eye catching name, though what chapels and  wolves have to do with it I cannot say.

Waitrose reductions are usually worth watching for, since they draw attention to wines you might not otherwise buy. Here is one which deserves  a look, bright in taste, not too strong, fruity but not dull the way Macons - whether white or red - too often are.
