Mâcon-Verzé Nicolas Maillet 2018

The wine

Mâcon-Verzé is a wine produced from several of the domaine's east-facing vineyards from vines aged 45 years. The limestone clay soil gives pure, very fruity wines.

In 1999, Nicolas Maillet took over the family domaine (which had existed for four generations) following his father who then brought his grapes to the local cooperative. It has doubled its surface area to 7 hectares, 5.4ha of which are Chardonnay on the slopes of the small village of Verzé in Saône-et-Loire, in the heart of the Mâconnais. The vineyard has been certified as organic since 2011. Vinification is essentially done in vats with minimum intervention.
