2023 Meursault Les Vireuils, Olivier Leflaive Frères
Compared with the Olivier Leflaive wines of Puligny, this Meursault is weighted and structured, with satisfying depth and tension. It’s ample, without being cloying or heavy. The vineyard of Vireuils sits tucked up at the top of the hill, on the border with neighbouring Auxey-Duresses. Its cool hilltop position helps the wine retain a terrific mineral drive, and 50-year-old vines produce concentration and savoury length.
