The aromas of this wine express white fleshed fruits (pear, white peaches and such), with hints of butter. Beautiful on the palate, with a creamy texture, and a distinct note of lemon zest. The selection of vines for this cuvée allows us to produce a white Burgundy more aristocratic, more tense and serious in intensity – more Puligny! This cuvée is created only from our best vines located in the territory of Puligny-Montrachet – 8 plots in total which represent a little less than 10 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards. Cuvée Onlcle Vincentis is name as an homage to Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winemakers and Vincent Leflaive, uncle of Olivier Leflaive, who died in 1993, having made the reputation of the eponymous estate. He was a model and a valuable support for Olivier at the time of the creation of his wine house. About the Winery: Olivier Leflaive was born into one of the most legendary Burgundian estates which he co-managed before starting his own venture, which is now legendary itself, Olivier Leflaive in 1985. This project allowed him to play with more wines outside of what his family owned in Puligny-Montrachet. Working with his winemaker, Franck Grux, they always focused on quality and transparency. The wines are hallmarks of elegance and purity rather than muscle and are more than worthy of the famous Leflaive name. Critical Acclaim: 2017: 90 points Wine Enthusiast “For the simple appellation of white Burgundy, this wine is a serious proposition. Its source is partly Puligny-Montrachet and with the wood aging, ripe yellow-fruit and mango flavors and intense acidity, it could even age. Delicious now, the wine will be even better from 2020.” Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
