Domaine Leflaive Macon Verze 2021

Domaine Leflaive is Puligny’s flagship domaine. The revered winery sits between Meursault to the north and Chassagne to the south, in the heart of Burgundy’s “gold coast,” home to the world’s most renowned (and expensive) Chardonnays.

If DRC makes the best Red Burgundy in the world, then Domaine Leflaive makes the best White Burgundy in the world, it’s that simple. Every year, collecting a few bottles of anything they make is a daunting but incredibly rewarding task. The new 2021s are just now starting to come out from Burgundy, but they show a lot of promise, especially to those with a little bit of patience.

Of course like always, LeFlaive’s Mâcon-Verzé is a total stunner and arguably the best value in the entire portfolio. A seamless blend of nine different vineyards from around the domaine, it’s made in a combination of steel, cement and oak giving it a wide variety of flavor profiles. Of course, it’s got incredible length and precision and what I love about this one the most is the minerality that shines throughout.
