Super-fresh aromas include those of green apple, spice and a plethora of citrus nuances. The medium weight flavors are not quite as dense but they're notably finer and with better precision on the mineral-driven, clean and agreeably dry finale that is just a bit firmer.
The 2019 Mâcon-Verzé Les Chênes was ordered from the list at Au Fil du Zinc in Chablis, principally because it is not shown whenever I visit Leflaive in Puligny. It acquits itself well. It's fresh on the nose with orchard fruit and white tea, though I would not describe it as complex. However, it exudes presence and concentration. The palate has commendable weight and is well-balanced. The acidity neatly counterbalances the concentrated fruit, dovetailing into a brioche-tinged finish with sufficient salinity to beg another sip. Polished off over dinner, it cost 60 Euros on the list. Money well spent.
