With a bright lemon-yellow colour, it reveals a clear aromatic profile with notes of citrus, apple, white peach and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it boasts a medium body, lively acidity and a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that define its vibrant and refreshing character. The sip finishes with a persistent finish, enriched by toasted nuances and a subtle touch of vanilla. It pairs excellently with grilled veal, white fish and \u003cstrong\u003egoat's cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Burgundy, in the renowned Côte de Beaune, within the prestigious area of Puligny-Montrachet. The vineyards stretch at the foot of the hill between Meursault and Chassagne, on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in stones that impart the typical saline tension. The village is located close to the water table: the presence of water underground has historically prevented the construction of underground cellars. From these highly suitable lands, \u003cstrong\u003eOlivier Leflaive\u003c\/strong\u003e carefully selects the grapes to create a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced blend\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of reflecting the essence of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare begins in the vineyard with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. Once in the winery, the bunches are gently pressed using a \u003cstrong\u003epneumatic press\u003c\/strong\u003e to extract only the finest must. Ageing lasts for seventeen months, taking place in both stainless steel tanks and \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, some of which are new. This technical approach allows the delicate toasted notes to be integrated without overpowering the fruit, preserving an energetic drinkability and ensuring the wine's great longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Puligny-Montrachet comes from “Pul”, meaning marsh: the presence of small pockets of water beneath the village makes it impossible to build underground cellars. On these precious \u003cstrong\u003eclay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, the historic Leflaive family selects the finest Chardonnay grapes. The 2022 vintage produced perfectly ripened bunches. Aged in oak barrels, this wine releases a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e and notes of white peach, offering the palate \u003cstrong\u003elively freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and long persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Leflaive Olivier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037609021611,"sku":"59627","price":174.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/olivier-leflaive-puligny-montrachet-2022_59627_1_a079f37a-c2a1-4c98-86f5-d58962c99b35.webp?v=1773800553","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/olivier-leflaive-puligny-montrachet-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
