White dry
White Burgundy wine from the Olivier Leflaive estate – an ideal choice for those who appreciate refined Meursault 1er Cru style and character. The wine offers aromas of honey, spices, and buttery biscuits. On the palate, a creamy texture unfolds, accompanied by expressive acidity."
The Sous Le Dos D'Ane" vineyard, named "under the donkey's back," is located directly below a small hill. Previously, "Pinot Noir" grapes were grown here, but since 2003, only ‘Chardonnay’ has been cultivated. The 26-year-old vines grow in calcareous clay, and the grapes are harvested by hand.
The aging process lasts 18 months: the first 6 months the wine is kept in stainless steel tanks, and the remaining time in French oak barrels (25% new oak).
Serve at 12-14° C with seafood, foie gras, blue mould 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.
