Domaine Leflaive, Macon Verze Chenes other_regions aged in 50% wood but(from a huge 3. 5 ha holding). A wonderfully fresh and quite spicy nose reflects mostly notes of green apple, lemon rind and a suggestion of petrol. The racy yet rich and nicely concentrated medium weight flavors conclude in a markedly citrusy, clean, dry and sneaky long finale. Fine quality here for what this is.
