Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet, Cote de Beaune, France 2022

From the vines to the glass, Olivier Leflaive ains to represent Burgundy in all the nuances of its wines. It is committed to preserving its soul and personality, while respecting the terroir.

Its name derives from "Pul" which means "marais": marsh. Puligny is built on small pockets of water which prevent digging underground cellars. The 2022 vintage brought serenity back to the vineyard with a healthy harvest and correct volumes. With rainfall accumulations far from excessive, the year 2022 was marked by average temperatures higher than seasonal norms and rainfall deficits from the start of the vine’s vegetative cycle. At the beginning of April, episodes of frost will recall the terrible nights of April 6 and 7 of 2021, but fortunately with an impact beyond measure. The year 2022 is the year of all records for sunshine with the equivalent of an additional month of July.

This wine is distinguished by its floral lightness and a clear directness that does not fail to instantly captivate. This wine presents a perfect equation between mineral sobriety and delicate generosity, creating a tasting that is both elegant and entertaining. The finale is of great caliber.
