“Following my few days in the Mâconnais, I drove up the autoroute to see a couple of producers in the Côte d’Or. One of my appointments was at Domaine Leflaive to taste their 2022s and a couple of Mâconnais cuvées. Domaine Leflaive has expanded widely across the region and, to quote one circumspect winemaker: “Why do they want to do that when you are making Montrachet?” I posed that question to Brice de La Morandière, who replied: “We are proud of making an accessible wine in the same way as a Chevalier-Montrachet.” Their recent acquisition of the 11-hectare Domaine de la Jobeline will give them more fruit from Mâcon-Verzé, Mâcon-Igé and a small amount of Mâcon-Solutré, also Pouilly-Fuissé from En Vignoret and La Chanaux. However, he mentioned that it takes time to integrate the new vines. I will seek to taste the full range later this year.”
