2021 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé "Le Monte" is a refined Chardonnay from Burgundy’s Mâconnais, sourced from selected high-quality parcels within the Mâcon-Verzé appellation. Produced by one of the most prestigious white Burgundy estates, it reflects a more approachable yet still terroir-driven expression of Leflaive’s style, combining purity, minerality and elegance.
The nose is fresh and lifted, showing lemon, green apple and pear, layered with white flowers, subtle almond and mineral notes. There is a clear aromatic precision, with floral and citrus elements supported by a clean slate-driven character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a lively, energetic structure and bright acidity. Citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by a light creamy texture and gentle oak influence, leading to a long, clean and mineral-driven finish. The style is elegant and approachable, offering earlier drinkability compared to Puligny-Montrachet while still maintaining depth and finesse.
