Winemaker:Olivier Leflaive Frères
In a sunny vintage like 2023, the high-lying Sous le Château vineyard in Saint-Romain is a precious source for fruit richness with balancing crispness. This fermented and aged 100% in small oak barrels, of which 12% were new. Pale gold in colour, it has bright, peachy aromas, with strikingly intense fruitiness on the palate. Aproportion of its natural malic acidity has been retained, to ensure the freshly harmonious, silky aftertaste (fordrinking 2025-2030+).
Please note, this In Bond wine is limited to 10 cases online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.

Winemaker
Olivier Leflaive Frères
In 2024, Olivier celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of his business. We have been a client uninterruptedly, ever since he and his brother Patrick began together, in 1984. Many wines come from their own domaine, and an increasing number from vineyards which they manage throughout the year, including the picking. Long-term winemaker Franck Grux has retired. After a two-vintage hand-over, overall responsibility for vineyard-management and wine-making has passed to the highly talented Solène Panigai, aided by long-serving Philippe Grillet. They and the teams are tightly focused on the identities of each village and plot. They are severe in side-lining not only less-than-perfect grapes on the sorting tables, but also any barrels which do not merit inclusion in their finest selections. Thanks to our long-term links with this family business we have privileged, early access to many its rarest, best-value and finest wines - several being exclusively reserved for HH&C.
