2023 Domaine Leflaive Macon Verze

This was the wine that started it all back in 2004 when the domaine, then under Anne-Claude Leflaive, purchased this small 14.65-hectare plot that was subsequently to spawn the single vineyard wines below. We named it then, and still consider it now, one of the least expensive fine wines in the world, as well as being one of the most expensive Mâcons. Taut, reductive, “struck match” nose, sweetly rich, piercingly bright and zesty. The palate is juicy, with succulent fruit, delectable freshness and subtle tension to the 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.
