Olivier Leflaive was formed in 1984 by Olivier and his brother Patrick. Pale lemon with aromas of stone fruits and nutty toasty citrus notes. On the palate apple and pear flavors with lemon rind, complex with vanilla and mineral tones on the lingering finish. Very Nice! Tasting well.

Honey lemon, pineapple, lime zest, green apple skin, peach, honey dew, saline, mid strength minerality, super fine chalk that clings to your tongue and cheeks. Round, rich, creamy, long finish. Nice balance of fruit, minerality and fruit.

Nice for a French Barrel manufacturer to put on a Premier Cru From Puligny by a producer as good as Leflaive. Beautifully balanced as always.

We did the 9 wine flight at Leflaive and this was by far our favorite white- out classing the 1er Cru wines that came after it. @Web Bond- this was a great experience! The vineyard is directly below Bienvenues-Batard Montrachet and the proximity shows! It had high class earth as well as limey drive. What a finish... I am still tasting it.
