Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Aligote 2021
- TASTING NOTE: "Includes some barrel this year (40%) because there were some spare! A clear and pale colour, with a vivid lively aligoté nose showing no barrel effect. Starts very well, a little bit lighter behind, fine clean finish with some length. Very much a classic Aligoté. Bottled in July at 12% Drink from 2023-2025." Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
- ABOUT THE WINE: Blending of plots located in Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau. Average age of vines, 36 years. Aged for 10 months (60% stainless steel, 40% in oak).
-
ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Olivier Leflaive was co-manager of Domaine Leflaive until 1994 before withdrawing to concentrate on his own venture which he started in 1985. Today the domaine produces wine from some 65 appellations with 85% of the production being white wine. One of Burgundy's most respected producers the estate produces a number of Domaine wines from its own vineyards alongside its range of negoce bottlings. The theme in their wines is elegance and finesse rather than power with restrained use of oak and great purity of fruit.
