Mâcon Verzé Leflaive (Domaine) 2022

The wine

Domaine Leflaive has acquired a few plots in the Mâcon region. Mâcon-Verzé delivers a nose of hazelnut and pastry aromas, then fruity aromas (lemon, white peach) with slight saline notes. The palate offers an excellent balance between a highly refined acidity and a beautiful richness. The long finish has a marvellous acidity and refined, slightly bitter notes.

About the Producer Leflaive

The name of the Domaine Leflaive will long remain associated with its famous ambassador Anne-Claude who, with the energy of the pioneers, converted the domaine to biodynamics between 1993 and 1997. The Leflaive family has lived in Puligny since 1717. But it was the genius of a marine engineer, a student of the Ecole Polytéchnique,which was needed to revive an area devastated by phylloxera. After participating in the design of the first French submarine, Joseph Leflaive returned to his native village, replanted and raised the profile of the domaine's wines well beyond the French borders. The third generation, Olivier and his cousin Anne-Claude, ensured that the domaine was at the heights of Burgundian hierarchy. Tasting the domaine's wines is a unique experience for any wine lover. The special attention paid to the vineyard and to the winemaking allows its particularly rich wines to reveal all the subtleties of the different Burgundian terroirs. Montrachet, Batârd, Chevalier, Bienvenues-Bâtard and the premier crus Folatières or Pucelles are wines with fundamentally different identities. These are rare cuvées, which every wine lover should taste at least once!
