Olivier Leflaive Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2015
Wine of powerful and generous character. The nose has notes of lemon but also notes of butter and vanilla . The palate is fairly tensed with acidity. The wine is fat with maturity and fills the mouth with flavor. It needs time to be tasted in its peak. It may deserve to be placed in carafe two hours before.
Olivier Leflaive is a negociant house in Burgundy's Côte d'Or. The house produces a wide range of wines predominantly from the Chardonnay grape variety, from both village- and region-level appellations, and from some of Burgundy's most famous vineyards, including Le Montrachet. In 1990, Olivier Leflaive was given the reins of the Domaine Leflaive estate, alongside his cousin Anne Claude Leflaive. He left in 1994 to set up his own negociant business.
