Up and comer Nicolas Delfaud is making authentic, mineral and balanced wines from east-facing limestone slopes in the appellation of Macon-Verzé. Currently in organic conversion, Nicolas farms 4 hectares of Chardonnay and Gamay vines ranging in age up to 55 years old. Following a philosophy that wine is made in the vineyards, Nicolas tends to be hands off in the cellar and ferments his wines with indigenous yeast and minimal intervention.
