Domaine Leflaive
Mâcon-Verzé Chardonnay
Pale lemon with fresh fruit aromas of stone and citrus fruits with some floral nutty notes. On the palate flavors of apple, lime citrus and pear, crisp acidity, with honeysuckle notes. Medium+ finish, notes of creamy vanilla ending with smoky and flinty citrus mineral earthy spice character.

Acidic! Tart stone fruit and honeyed mango; lengthy finish of pineapple; the nose alone is steely and young fruit driven. This will obviously improve with time.

From the fabulous Leflaive, creamy, buttery with beautiful notes of buttered brioche, vanilla, tropical fruits and a touch of pineapple

The nose had that real sense of place - wild flowers, wet streambed pebbles, golden apples (sounds like an apple pie cooling in the window on a spring day in Mâcon, warmth of sun with the cool breeze mixing enticing aromas around). The pallet was elegantly designed, exhibiting notes of vanilla créme, white peach, chalk mineral, star anise, and a light touch of toasted hazelnut to the finish. Now that I've seen their "baseline effort", I'm sure I'd be in heaven with their GC.
