Reviews
"Situated next door to the Grand Cru vineyards, this vineyard produces some grand wines. This wine comes from the Olivier Leflaive domaine. It has richness and concentration with beautifully dense yellow fruits that are cut with inspiring acidity. The texture shows minerality and a taut and nervy character that will allow this fine wine to age very well. Drink from 2020."
"Intense, with lime blossom, lemon cake, peach, spice and mineral flavors focused and driven by the racy structure. Very young, but shows admirable intensity, depth and persistence. Beautifully balanced, this goes on and on, presenting a kaleidoscope of lemon, cinnamon and mineral details on the aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2032. From France"
"Sweet ripe pear and apricot nose, with some lees aromas from the barrel. Rich, forthright, concentrated and assertive, this has grip and spice and tension. Oaky, tangy and long."
"Very elegant pure lemon colour with a delicious nose, beautifully managed perfume. The quality of the fruit on the palate is very classy and this has a glorious sense of precision. If there is a touch of reduction it is perfectly managed. Oak starts to emerge more. "
