Macon Verze, Leflaive, Bourgogne, FR, 2021

Wine Spectator 90 Points

"A delicate style, lacy and fresh, yet with no lack of white flower, lemon, apple and honey flavors. Charming and elegant, this white extends on the chalky finish. Drink now through 2028.

"78% in stainless steel vats, 10% in wooden barrels, and 12% in oak barrels (including 40% in new barrels). After 10 months of aging on lees in fermentation containers, the wine is racked in stainless steel vats and aged on fine lees for 6 months. 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."
