Olivier Leflaive
Cuvée Margot Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Burgundy, France

Definitely, shows the fruit of 22. Lighter style extraction. A nice pair with Petit Filet Mignon with Glazed Cipollini onions and Red Peppers drizzled in a light gravy.
Bright, ripe and floral fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, baked strawberries, raspberries, hints of blueberries, some pomegranate, really nice, soft, spice, light baking spices-clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & vanillin, dark, rich, turned earth, a touch of tree bark with sap, just a touch of eucalyptus,dry top soil, red & purple flowers, round acidity, not overly complex but drinks very easy with a nice, balanced finish that lasts under a minute and falls on light spice & dry top soil.
Also, finished nicely with a bite of flourless chocolate cake w/ raspberries.

Muted nose of stewed cherries. Good cherry core with chalky tannins. Age worthy for at least another 5-7 years.

Orange peel, little bit of asphalt, maybe some spearmint. Nice

Jan 23rd, 2022Bright and lively with red currant and (stewed) strawberry, some undergrowth and a touch of mandarine peel. Juicy acidity paired with pure fruit and surprisingly grippy tannins. A bit hollow on the mid palate and not as charming and ethereal as I expected but a convincing red from the master of whites.

Subtle & light, one might even say weak; fine balance with lingonberries & raspberries and some tobacco.
