2016 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé: Biodynamic Purity Double Magnum

The 2016 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé Blanc 3L Double Magnum (Jeroboam) offers collectors exceptional white Burgundy pedigree in a majestic large format. In particular, this cuvée comes from five biodynamically farmed parcels in Verzé, sharing pure limestone soils. In addition, the classic 2016 vintage produced fruit of tremendous aromatic clarity, electric natural acidity, and limestone tension.

Tasting Notes for 2016 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé

The wine opens with energetic aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and pulverized flint. Furthermore, delicate notes of toasted hazelnut, wet chalk, and sea spray emerge as the wine breathes. On the palate, laser-like acidity cuts through a beautifully textured mid-palate of fresh citrus. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthwatering tension, stony grip, and profound saline purity.

Estate History and Heritage

Domaine Leflaive is universally recognized as the undisputed matriarch of white Burgundy, based in Puligny-Montrachet. Specifically, Anne-Claude Leflaive pioneered biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy in the 1990s, expanding into Mâcon-Verzé in 2004 to bring Grand Cru standards to the south. Moreover, each parcel is cultivated with strict biodynamic preparations.

Today, under Brice de La Morandière, Domaine Leflaive continues to produce benchmarks of sustainable excellence. As a result, this 3-liter Jeroboam represents an extraordinary centerpiece for celebrations and cellars.
