We are fortunate to have secured a small parcel of this precious Grand Cru vineyard. Colour is bright, golden green, with luscious, powerful aromas that are both complex, including white flowers, ripe peach and spices, and compact. It is a dry wine, but has immense richness and a tremendous depth of flavour. Multi-layered, creamy in texture, yet tightly-woven and beautifully vivacious ,with bottle-age, this will be sensational (for drinking 2027 – 2038+).

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.
