Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Burgundy
R1,875
‘Attractive nose of ripe apricots, jasmine, hazelnuts, white grapefruit and some smoky touches. Creamy, ripe and fleshy, with a full body. Excellent concentration. Drink or hold.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 93/100
‘A blend from 25 different plots. Clear pale yellow. Fine fruit on the nose if less floral, builds beautifully on the palate, supported by a fine thread of mineral acidity. Lovely aftertaste.’ – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy,90-92/100
‘Moderate wood influence frames the ripe and fresh aromas of mostly petrol, floral and essence of pear. There is both solid mid-palate density to the attractively vibrant flavors that possess a seductive texture while delivering fine length on the balanced finale. This does however need to develop better depth, which isn't necessarily an inconvenience as the cellar time should help the wood treatment better integrate. 2027+’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 89/100

| 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. |
