Domaines Leflaive, Mâconnais
Mâcon-Verzé
Whilst a village-level in designation, this eminently drinkable bottling is a fantastic “house-wine” as it delivers the great essence of the area – lovely, floral, fruit, mineral verve, and a balanced finish. The Mâcon-Verzé is a wine of great purity, both floral and mineral, expressing a lively energy, ready to be enjoyed earlier than the wines of Puligny-Montrachet.

“This white is harmonious and creamy in texture, featuring floral, peach, apple tart and lemon cake flavors, all buoyed by vibrant acidity. The oak treatment is subtle, with flashes of baking spices, and this ends with fine length.”
— Bruce Sanderson, 2024
