2022 Montagny 1er Cru, Olivier Leflaive Frères, Côte Chalonnaise

Floral, precise, and energetic. This Montagny premier cru is a classic example of why the appellation is recognised as one of the top communes in the Côte Chalonnaise. This wine itself is a blend of various sites, and is vinified almost exclusively in oak, with just a fraction of it new. It has this wonderful tight fruit-based minerality and a textural structure, with plump lemon pulp at its core.

Tasting notes

Bottled in August. It comes from Bonneveaux plus the sector overlooking Montagny itself. Pale lemon colour. Another wine where the bouquet is not yet expressive, but the fruit comes across really well on the palate, with a clean pure limestone feel at the finish. A light citrus note and excellent persistence. Drink from 2025-2027. Tasted: October 2023.
