Maillet Macon Verze Blanc 2020/21

This fourth-generation, 8 hectare domaine is situated in the commune of Verze; a cool terroir, being a corridor of well-ventilated opposing east and south-west facing slopes, with deep limestone and chalk soils. It is recognised as producing some of the tensest, freshest and most minerally wines in the Maconnais.  From 1928 to 1998, their grapes were sold to the local cooperative, which dominates production. However, since 1999, Nicolas has bottled everything at the property. The domaine was certified as organic in 2008 and since 2013 they have largely employed biodynamic practices. Their vines are surrounded by those of Domaine Leflaive, which similarly recognised the great terroir of Verze, now own some 30 hectares in the commune and also farm biodynamically. 

They work their soils vigorously to ensure healthy, microbiological activity and hand-harvest in small containers to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Only selection massale, from their oldest vines is used when replanting. All their wines are vinified in tank – with entirely indigenous, natural yeasts – to preserve the purity, freshness and character of the terroir. They are only racked if it is absolutely necessary and use minimal doses of SO2.
