This is one of Olivier Leflaive’s most well-known and most sought after whites. Rich and concentrated, look for white peach, almond, citrus, ripe apple, limestone, honey and French vanilla aromas and flavors. Morgeot is the best known of the terroirs in Chassagne-Montrachet. Olivier Leflaive owns 2.5 acres situated around the Abbey of Morgeot.
Olivier Leflaive was formed in 1984 by Olivier and his brother Patrick. Unlike a conventional negociant who buys finished wines, the firm vinifies all of their wines from grapes and/or juice, and also owns 25 acres in the Burgundy region. Under the supervision of winemaker Franck Grux, the white wines are vinified, blended, and aged exactly as they would be at a top-rank domaine. On a personal note, we know Franck very well, and he is not only a truly kind, honest and fun person, but he is an extremely thoughtful, quality-driven, top notch winemaker. You will always taste the beauty, balance and terroir of Burgundy in his wines.
