About

Quite simply, producing Fine Wines. This short maxim represents a big promise for Olivier Leflaive. First, respecting the love of the terroir that has been handed down through the generations. Contributing to the reputation of the region and preserving the soul and personality of the wines through a plot-based approach. But it is also the promise of embodying values and always following our convictions. It is also, and above all, the promise of sparking dreams thanks to an emotional approach to the way the wines are experienced. Hence, from the vine to the glass, the family-run winery, authentic and ancestral, has become a guarantee of quality over the past 40 years.

Vintage Notes

The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a healthy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.

Tasting Notes

This wine has a nose delicately scented with acacia honey and a pronounced sensation of roundness in the heart of the mouth. The finish is distinguished by its sharper character, bringing both tension and a saline note.

Food Pairing

Ideal with pike terrine, crayfish gratin, frog legs with parsley.

Impressive for its racy profile and complexity, this white reveals peach, apple, lemon and toasty oak aromas and flavors. Hints of butter and butterscotch lend charm and depth, while the finish echoes the spice elements. Drink now through 2029. 500 cases imported.
