Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé Mâcon-Verzé+ 2018 Burgundy France 75cl
A biodynamic Chardonnay which marries power, elegance and great focus effortlessly.
The Domaine Leflaive winery is located in Puligny-Montrachet Burgundy and is world-renowned for its white wines.
The beginnings of the domain date back to 1717, and over the years it has evolved constantly. Today, they are pioneers of biodynamic cultivation in the area.
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 made through composting and plant infusions. No pesticides or any other chemicals are used, and the harvest is carried out manually when the grapes reach optimum ripeness.
Once the Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé grapes reach the winery, they are pressed gently and slowly with a pneumatic press. The resulting must is left to ferment and mature spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for about 15 months before being bottled.
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.
