White dry
This fresh and mineral white 'Chardonnay' from the renowned Olivier Leflaive estate, located in Burgundy, captivates with its subtlety, elegance, and attractive price.
The wine exudes aromas of jasmine, hazelnuts, and spices. It unfolds with a succulent and soft fruit flavor. It's an excellent choice for those who appreciate the classic white Burgundy wine style.
This “Chardonnay” is made in the southern part of Burgundy, in the Côte Chalonnaise region, specifically in Montagny AOC, a white wine appellation. Grapes from three communes are used for its production: Bonneveaux, Perrières, and Coères. The average age of the vines is 30 years. They grow on calcareous clay and limestone soils.
The wine is aged for 16 months: the first 4 months in stainless steel tanks. The remaining time is spent in French oak barrels, of which 10% are new.
Serve at 10-12° C with goat's milk cheeses, frogs' legs with parsley or crayfish spread.
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.
