White dry
An elegant and precise white Burgundy, distinguished by mineral precision, freshness and subtle texture. This is an exceptional expression of Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Pucelles”, revealing the elegance of 'Chardonnay' and the character of its terroir.
The nose reveals notes of citrus, white flowers and fresh almonds, complemented by subtle hints of stone and chalk. On the palate, the wine is lively, tense and precise, with clean acidity, subtle texture and a long, mineral finish.
The wine is made from 'Chardonnay'. “Pucelles” is one of the most prestigious Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru vineyards, with calcareous, stony soils that give the wine minerality and structure. The grapes are hand-harvested, and the winemaking follows HVE 3 environmental standards.
The wine is aged for 18 months: the first 6 months in stainless-steel tanks, followed by ageing in oak barrels.
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.
