Olivier Leflaive Montrachet Grand Cru 2019 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R25,500
‘The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is concentrated and energetic on the nose yet displays laser-like precision, with notes of apple blossom, crushed stone and oyster shell. The palate is a live wire on the entry. There’s an electrical current running through this Montrachet. It’s at once tensile and steely but possesses real power and density toward the finish. This is a level up from Marc Colin's Montrachet and the aftertaste is extraordinarily persistent. Magnificent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. 2030-2065’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 98/100
‘Subtle but not invisible wood is present on the cool, pure and ultra-floral suffused nose of various citrus, spiced pear and jasmine tea aromas. There is outstanding richness to the muscular yet refined big-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the balanced, delineated and sneaky long finale. This too is lovely and promising. 2031+’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93-96/100

| Producer information | The Leflaive family have been Burgundy producers for many decades but, in 1984, Olivier Leflaive set up his merchant house producing wines under his own label from his own vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet. To establish his estate, he purchased 12 hectares of land in prestigious appellations including village Meursault to the Grands Crus of Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet. Today, Olivier Leflaive controls all the winemaking and the ageing of the wines. Each vintage benefits from an individual approach and guarantees the authenticity of each appellation. |
