Domaine Nicolas Delfaud, Macon-Verzé 2023

Domaine Nicolas Delfaud 2023
AOP Mâcon-Verzé
Not far from the slopes of Pouilly-Fuissé, Nicolas Delfaud has 4 hectares of vines near the village of Verzé on slopes with a clay-limestone soil.
He practises organic winemaking.  The Chardonnay grapes are handpicked and the wine fermented with indigenous yeasts before being left on its lees in a mix of fermentation vats and old oak casks for 8-12 months.
It has a pretty floral nose with a hint of vanilla.  There is a big mouthful of fresh apple fruit with a creamy texture, a touch of cloves, a savoury twist and gentle acidity at the finish.
A gorgeous white Burgundy from the increasingly fashionable Mâconnais!
