Olivier Leflaive Frères Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée Oncle Vincent 2020

About

Cuvée homage to the owner of the winemakers “Saint-Vincent” and especially to 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.

Terroir

This cuvée is made exclusively from our old vines located on the Puligny-Montrachet terroir, i.e. 8 plots in total.
