2018 Beaune Blanc Clos des Monsnières, Olivier Leflaive

From this south-facing, gently-sloping vineyard on the Montagne de Beaune, the view spreads out across some of Beaune’s best 1st Growths: Avaux and Aigrots, to the Clos des Mouches. This vineyard has been fully managed by Olivier Leflaive for four years. Vines are now fully mature, averaging 30 years old, with their wine fermenting in approximately 17% new oak barrels. Brilliant, pale lemon-green in colour, this has lovely aromas, intense and ripe, very enticing. Palate is tight, concentrated, very stony. Elegant wine, fine and long flavoured (for drinking 2021- 2025+).
