White dry
Vineyard located right above Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet in the direction of le Montrachet in the South part of the shoulder of the hill. It is a former Domaine Leflaive property. At their arrival in our cellar, the grapes are immediately and carefully pressed with a pneumatic press. 100 % whole berries. The wine was aged 18 months (whose 6 months in stainless steel tank) 100% oak barrels (whose 25% of new oak).
Rich green gold in color, this wine has opulently fragrant and very expressive aromas. The palate is powerfully structured, with thrilling fruit concentration and magnificent length. Finesse, complexity and elegance.
Serve at 12-14°C with creamy sweetbread or crayfish.
Pale lemon yellow, with a lightly honeyed aspect to the nose, but appealing fruit beneath. A scintillating burst of fruit on the palate, notable for the intensity of the pure lemon fresh fruit, quite high octane for sure, but with the fruit in the ascendancy. Exceptionally long finish. Overall the tension is enough to match the weight of the wine.
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.
