White dry
Olivier Leflaive wine from one of the oldest Saint-Aubin vineyards, which has become very popular among white Burgundy enthusiasts in the last decade.
Aromas are revealed through notes of citrus fruits, white flowers, and crushed stone. On the palate, there is a bright accent of freshness and a mineral note."
The name 'Dents de Chien' means 'dog's teeth', because the vineyard is located under sharp rocks resembling fangs. The 'Chardonnay' vines planted here are 30 years old. They grow in calcareous clay on a steep slope, which allows them to ripen early."
The aging process lasts 12 months: the first 4 months the wine is kept in stainless steel tanks, and the remaining time in French oak barrels (25% new oak).
Serve at 10-12°C. Ideal with crayfish, grilled fish and pike with sauce.
The name "Olivier Leflaive" is very well known to Burgundy lovers. The roots of this family, deeply embedded in the Puligny-Montrachet soil, date back to 1717, but it was not until the 20th century that Joseph Leflaive began actively cultivating the family winery and traditions. His vision was simple but grand – to create top-quality Burgundy wines that would reflect the unique terroir of the region.
His son Olivier, having inherited the family traditions, founded his own estate in 1984, named after himself. This step allowed him to experiment not only with white wines but also with red wines, expanding the family's holdings. In 2010, "Olivier Leflaive" regained its long-cherished vineyards, which had been leased to "Domaine Leflaive" for 18 years. Today, the estate boasts 15 hectares of prestigious vineyards in the Puligny, Chassagne, and Meursault regions.
The year 2023 marks a new chapter in the history of "Olivier Leflaive" – after a long and impressive career, technical director Franck Grux retired. His place was taken by the talented winemaker Solène Panigai, who will undoubtedly continue the traditions of this house and continue to create exceptional Burgundy wines.
