Olivier Leflaive Meursault

A wine with a fine aromatic intensity of almond, hazelnut, apple and a balance between smoothness and freshness on the palate. The abundance of white marl in the soils give this wine its firm structure and aromatics. Meursault is the biggest village of la Côte de Beaune which produces mainly white wines. According to the location of plots, the soil is rich and deep (at the bottom of the hilside) or limestone and marly in the "mountain". Our cuvée comes from a blending of about sixteen different but complementary plots in order to obtain rich and elegant wines. 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: 91 points Wine Enthusiast “Aged in wood, this blend of parcels from across Meursault shows the richness for which the appellation is famed. It contrasts that with acidity, freshness and crisp citrus. The combination has produced a wine that can age further. Drink from 2021.” Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
