This wine offers an unparalleled combination of finesse, power, and depth, making it a truly remarkable addition to any cellar or a perfect choice for a special occasion, showcasing a unique taste of this celebrated terroir.
This Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet is a wine of great delicacy, floral and airy, yet powerful on the palate. It harmoniously combines lightness and structure, offering subtle complexity and beautiful depth.
Originating from a single, historic vineyard since the 1950s, this wine perfectly expresses the Puligny-Montrachet terroir. The light, rocky soil and natural water springs protect it in summer. This sophisticated wine, a former Domaine Leflaive property, uses HVE 3 (High Environmental Value) methods.
Grapes are 100% hand-harvested. Vinification includes 24-hour static settling, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in oak barrels. Aging spans 18 months, with the first 6 months in stainless steel tanks and the rest in 100% oak (25% new). The soil is primarily calcareous clay, and 100% whole grapes are used.
Serves 12-14°C with white fish, poultry with mild sauce, soft cheeses.
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.
