Olivier Leflaive Meursault AOC 2023

For the Leflaive family, winemaking is a heritage passed down from generation to generation as a treasure. Olivier is the eighteenth of them. In 1984, he founded his own winery and wine house, Olivier Leflaive. In just a few years, the name became unique, a benchmark in the Côte de Beaune. Later, he was joined by his brother Patrick, then his daughter Julie, and his former brother-in-law Jean Soubeyrand. Owning 100 hectares of vineyards, 26 of which belong to the estate, and 82 vineyards, including the famous Grand Crus Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Montrachet, the estate pays homage to these renowned Burgundy vineyards, respecting traditional methods and the transmission of knowledge from generation to generation. Hand harvesting and skilled barrel aging by his passionate team allow the House to create elegant wines that are remarkable in every way. The white wines are exceptionally refined, while the reds are perfectly balanced in intensity. Valentin Champagne, Olivier Leflaive's latest creation, brings his Burgundian expertise to the Champagne terroir, creating a completely unique sparkle. In 2020, the management of the estate was transferred between Olivier and Julie, who completely redesigned it, giving it a modern look.
