($12):  Chaintré is one of the communes that comprise the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation.  If a wine comes exclusively from vineyards in the village, but lie outside of that famous appellation, they can carry the name of village instead of the more generic appellation of Mâcon-Villages.  The 2015 vintage gave these less prestigious areas a bit of warmth and ripeness to the grapes, which makes the wines an outstanding choice, especially at the price.  This one delivers a bracing minty fruity profile alongside vibrant acidity.  Buy it by the case for summer.
