Notes of freshly baked bread, crisp green apple, honeysuckle and orange blossom preface Maillet's 2020 Macon-Verze, a medium-bodied, ample and lively wine that's pure and mouthwatering. This is one of the Maconnais's perennial values. Drink: 2022-2030.
Yes, white Burgundy can be crisp! Take Nicolas Maillet Macon Verze Blanc 2020 for instance. Maillet is blessed with old vines on incredibly chalky soils, why would he mask these qualities in his wines with oak aging? He wants his Chardonnays to be refreshing and mineral-driven and that is exactly what he has accomplished. He achieves this by fermenting in epoxy-lined tanks and aging in concrete tanks.
