($14, Kobrand Wine And Spirits): Jadot’s 2014 Mâcon Villages offers a fabulous comparison to their very good one from 2012.  While still displaying an engaging creaminess, it’s slightly less rich than the 2012, but has more energy and vivacity.  Those whose tastes run to more voluptuous wines — though still not in the New World ripeness category — will enjoy the 2012.  Those consumers looking for a racier, more linear wine should search for the 2014, which is just reaching retailers’ shelves.  But frankly, given the price and their overall quality, either would be a good choice for a large gathering this summer.
