Olivier Leflaive Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de MorgeotV

Wine Notes

Olivier Leflaive possesses 120 ha of vines with a great majority of white wines stemming from three prestigious villages of the Côtes de Beaune: Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne Montrachet and Meursault but also of Chablis and the Côte Chalonnaise. Olivier and Patrick Leflaive had the opportunity to take back the family Domaine Leflaive. Vineyards were cultivated according to the biodynamic criteria for approximately 20 years. Olivier Leflaive’s wines are Great wines of Burgundy among which some slept off such as Premier Cru Chassagne Montrachet Abbaye de Morgeot or Premier Cru Puligny Montrachet Les Garennes.

“The 2017 is a great success for Olivier Leflaive and the house’s able winemaker Franck Grux. While the scale of this important négociant house sometimes wins it short shrift from Burgundy collectors, the truth of the matter is found in the glass. The whole range this year is very solid indeed, and with Leflaive’s “Récolte du Domaine” range, Grux has evidently pulled out all the stops to produce wines that can confound the prejudices of even the most skeptical. Many of these bottlings are derived from Olivier Leflaive’s share of the Domaine Leflaive vineyards, which only recently reverted to him, and these cuvées in particular are worth every effort to seek out.”
