Bourgogne Blanc "Oncle Vincent, Olivier Leflaive 2021

Olivier Leflaive

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.

Vineyards surrounded by walls on 3 sides, with their backs to the Montagne de Beaune and with a magnificent view of the Pommard vineyard and the Côte.

The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a heathy 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.

With a nice approach from the first sips, this wine is generous and does not fail to charm the taste buds with a balance between the fruit and the chiselled finish.
