The Elegance and Expertise of a Great Burgundian Name

The Estate

Founded in 1984, the Olivier Leflaive House is a major reference in Burgundy. Located in Puligny-Montrachet, it manages an extensive vineyard with an approach combining respect for tradition and entrepreneurial daring. Heir to a long family tradition, the estate stands out for its winemaking haute couture, while preserving the authentic expression of its terroirs.

The Vineyard

The Santenay terroir is located at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune. The vines benefit from brown limestone soils enriched with clay, offering excellent water regulation and promoting full grape maturity.

The Vintage

The year 2024 was particularly challenging in climatic terms. The growing season was marked by constant humidity. Despite these weather challenges and reduced yields, the teams' rigorous work resulted in beautifully concentrated berries.

Winemaking and Aging

The grapes undergo a rigorous sorting process before a carefully managed fermentation to extract the finesse of the aromas. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, adding structure and complexity to the final blend.

Grape Variety

Pinot Noir (100%).
