The Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé is an absolute gem for any Chardonnay lover. It’s got this beautiful balance—creamy and harmonious in texture—while offering delicate floral notes alongside flavors of juicy peach, crisp apple tart, and even a hint of lemon cake. The acidity is vibrant, making it so refreshing, and the oak treatment is perfectly subtle, with just a whisper of baking spices to round things out. The finish? Long and refined. It’s drinking beautifully now and will continue to impress through 2028. With only 2,125 cases imported, it’s definitely worth grabbing a bottle while you can.

White Burgundy, or Bourgogne Blanc, refers to the white wines produced in the Burgundy region of France, primarily from Chardonnay grapes. These wines are celebrated for their elegance, complexity, and reflection of terroir. They range from crisp and mineral-driven to rich and creamy, depending on their origin within Burgundy.

At the northern end, Chablis offers steely, high-acid wines with notes of green apple, citrus, and wet stone, often unoaked. Moving south to the Côte de Beaune, you’ll find some of the world’s most prestigious white wines, like those from Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, and Chassagne-Montrachet, showcasing layers of ripe orchard fruits, buttery textures, and subtle oak influence. The Mâconnais region, including areas like Mâcon-Verzé and Pouilly-Fuissé, offers excellent value with approachable wines featuring bright fruit, creamy textures, and a kiss of minerality.

White Burgundy is incredibly versatile, pairing well with dishes like roasted chicken, seafood, creamy pastas, and even soft cheeses. Whether you’re new to Chardonnay or a seasoned fan, exploring white Burgundy is a journey through some of the finest expressions of the grape, offering both everyday gems and world-class bottles to savor
