Olivier Leflaive has unmatched access to superb grapes from across their home commune. Bunches come from26 different plots, some from the Meursault side, others from near the Chassagne border, and from the heart ofthe village, just below 1st Growths like Clavoillon and Perrières. In 2023, grapes from the various origins wereassembled into ten different lots for fermentation in barrel, approximately 20% being new, then decisions were taken about how to make the final assembly. The resulting wineis green-gold in colour, with expansive fragrance of real finesse. Palate has harmonious acidity and medium body. There is intense fruitiness and elegant, silky texture, with invigorating, lovely aftertaste (for drinking 2026-2032+).
Please note, this In Bond wine is limited to 10 cases online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.

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.
