Winemaker:Olivier Leflaive Frères
The vines lie in clay-rich soils on this first growth slope close to the Volnay-Pommard boundary. The wine shows the finesse, perfume and silkiness we expect from the former, with the density of the latter. The 2019 has a vivid purple colour, with a very pretty, concentrated aroma that combines ripe black cherries and violets. There is ample, dense, juicy fleshiness here, set within a fine framework. A wine with a charming, lacy character, supple tannins and a long, magnificent finish (for drinking 2024-2032+).

Winemaker
Olivier Leflaive Frères
In 2024, Olivier celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of his business. We have been a client uninterruptedly, ever since he and his brother Patrick began together, in 1984. Many wines come from their own domaine, and an increasing number from vineyards which they manage throughout the year, including the picking. Long-term winemaker Franck Grux has retired. After a two-vintage hand-over, overall responsibility for vineyard-management and wine-making has passed to the highly talented Solène Panigai, aided by long-serving Philippe Grillet. They and the teams are tightly focused on the identities of each village and plot. They are severe in side-lining not only less-than-perfect grapes on the sorting tables, but also any barrels which do not merit inclusion in their finest selections. Thanks to our long-term links with this family business we have privileged, early access to many its rarest, best-value and finest wines - several being exclusively reserved for HH&C.
