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.

"Minerally and bright for Macon with aromas and flavors of lime, grapefruit and crushed stones. Medium-bodied, crisp and focused, with flinty tension and vivid acidity driving the palate. Fresh, precise and lingering on the citrusy finish. Drink now."
— James Suckling, 2026
