- BOX BOURGOGNE OLIVIER LEFLAIVE (2BT) DESCRIPTION
- Olivier Leflaive condenses a wonderful expression of the C´te de Beaune in the two labels presented here in pairing: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that synthesize the different characters of the parcels scattered across the vast and ever
- varied family holdings. Les Stilles is an emblematic creation of the Domaine, a regional white that presents the refinement of the great crus, while the Cuve Margot is dedicated to one of Olivier's daughters and a sort of challenge to the more resounding name of the Bordeaux Margaux!
- The Box Bourgogne Olivier Leflaive offers a small but significant glimpse inside one of the symbolic cellars of the C´te d'Or. Pure Chardonnay for Les Stilles, coming from vineyards located below 230 meters above sea level, the minimum limit allowed for municipal denominations. The grapes, on average 45 years old, represent an assembly of about 60 different plots scattered between the villages of Puligny
- Montrachet and Meurault, the C´te Chalonnaise and the Hautes C´tes de Beaune, united by a calcareous soil with the presence of clay and silt. The vinification involves 90% whole bunches, soft pressing and aging for 14 months in oak barrels and cement tanks. Cuve Margot is instead made from pure Pinot Noir, of an average age of 30 years. The grapes come from about twenty different plots, along the route between Puligny and Pernand
- Vergelesses, in addition to some old vines in the Hautes C´tes, characterized essentially by silt and clay soils. The vinification involves the use of 20% whole bunches, long fermentations in cement tanks and aging for 16 months in oak barrels.
- Bourgogne Olivier Leflaive Special Box is worth a special gift for any lover of Burgundy wines. The multifaceted characteristics of the two labels will be able to set the tone for two different tasting occasions, or fully accompany a good level table. From floral notes and white pulp through small forest berries, from citrus and mineral hints through ripe tannins, the common denominator is represented by absolute finesse
