AOC Macon Verze, Burgundy, France
100% Chardonnay from biodynamic viticulture
The Domaine Leflaive winery is located in Puligny-Montrachet, on the Beaune coast (Burgundy), and is world-renowned for its white wines. It dates back to 1717 and has been constantly evolving over the years. Today, it is a pioneer in biodynamic farming in the region.
Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé comes from 20 hectares of vineyards located in Mâconnais. Old vines planted in calcareous clay soil and cultivated with biodynamic preparations. The resulting must is left to ferment and mature spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks for about 15 months before being bottled.
Moderate lemon with green highlights. Bergamot, pear, citron, lemon, honey, toast, and yeast create an explosive and delightful bouquet. Juicy peaches and melon also appear on the palate. Rich, oily body and pronounced acidity. Unforgettable aftertaste.
