Domaine Leflaive Mâcon Verzé Les Chênes – 2019 – Burghound – 92 Points
Super-fresh aromas include those of green apple, spice and a plethora of citrus nuances. The medium weight flavors are not quite as dense but they're notably finer and with better precision on the mineral-driven, clean and agreeably dry finale that is just a bit firmer.
