The property
Established in Puligny-Montrachet since 1635, the Domaine Olivier Leflaive has perpetuated the tradition of great Burgundy wines by offering one of the most beautiful expressions of chardonnay in the world. At the head of an essential domain in Burgundy, Olivier Leflaive has established himself as an emblematic character of the Côte de Beaune. Patiently built up, Olivier Leflaive's vineyard now extends over 17 hectares of vines located on the greatest terroirs of Burgundy.
The vineyard
"Le Porusot" Domaine 2022 is a Meursault wine 1er cru from a 0.5 hectare vineyard owned by the domain since 1989, with vines resting between 250 and 300 meters altitude on clay-limestone soils.
The vintage
The year 2022 is marked by higher temperatures than the seasonal averages, episodes of frost in early April and a particularly sunny summer.
