Description

A Fresh White Burgundy Wine with a Generous Palate and Charming Minerality

The history of the Leflaive family is very closely tied with that of the Burgundy region of France. The family has always owned a few hectares of vines here, although it wasn't until after World War I that Joseph Leflaive first initiated the expansion of the estate, eventually acquiring 35 hectares planted with vines. In 1990, the estate was taken over by Olivier and Anne-Claude Leflaive who in 1997 converted the vineyards to biodynamic agriculture. Domaine Leflaive is today best known for its white Burgundy wines, especially those from the estate's 5.1 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards. The Bourgogne Blanc Les Setilles 2016 by Olivier Leflaive is a wonderful example of a high-quality regional appellation Burgundy wine. The Chardonnay is sourced from several different parcels in the communes of Puligny Montrachet and Meursault, with each making up around half of the blend. This diversity of terroirs, characterized by argilo-calcereous and silty-clay soils, lends great complexity to the final blend. Around 60% of the wine is aged in Allier oak, of which only 10% is new. The rest matures in stainless steel vats in order to preserved the freshness of the wine and the natural varietal character.

The Bourgogne Blanc Les Setilles 2016 by Olivier Leflaive presents a clear yellow hue in the glass. On the nose, this white Burgundy is exquisitely delicate and clean, with fresh and tangy aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, toasted almond and peach, along with an unmistakably mineral background. The attack on the mouth is straightforward and full, followed by a very generous palate expressing an elegant touch of salinity. The perfect choice for an aperitif, which will also pair fantastically with goat cheese and charcuterie.
