92 Points, Neal Martin. Vinous - "The 2024 Mâcon-Verzé Le Chemin Blanc comes from older vines, 80 to 90 years old, that are oriented west, and is aged in enamel-lined vats. There is real depth on the nose. Slightly more yellow fruit here mixed with touches of hazelnut and pine nuts, just a touch fumé in style. Great delineation. The palate is well balanced with bright acidity and impressive depth, with plenty of substance for a Mâcon-Verzé towards the sour lemon-tinged finish. This is another great '24 from Maillet and his team."
The flagship bottling and an exhilarating White Burgundy (100% Chardonnay) from certified organic 95 year old vines on clay-limestone soils in Verzé.
100% Stainless Steel elevage yet it's as wide as it is long. Teeming with brine & oyster shell whiffs on the nose. A crunchy wet stone feel to the palate bursting with citrus but also white stone fruit. Top shelf Chardonnay with searing length & depth. It's hard to fathom the mouthfeel & texture of the wine given its raising in stainless steel but no doubt its depth is derived from the long lees time & very old vines.
