OLIVIER LEFLAIVE SAINT AUBIN EN REMILLY 1ER CRU 2023

White flowers, acacia, and a flint-like mineral snap hit first, underpinned by fresh acidity and a delicate, focused texture that points directly to Saint-Aubin's limestone soils sitting between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet on the Côte de Beaune. Olivier Leflaive Frères sources sustainably grown Chardonnay from this appellation, where vines replanted after phylloxera now deliver concentrated fruit. Hand-harvested whole clusters settle for 24 hours before fermenting in barrel with full malolactic, then aging 12 months in 15% new oak followed by four months in stainless steel — preserving both richness and precision.
