Description
This comes from two plots of high-lying vines on Meursault’s finest slope, uphill from 1st Growth Gouttes d’Or. It is partly sourced from a 113-year-old vineyard, planted in 1907, partly from more vigorous vines planted in the 1970s. Exclusive to HH&C, just 5 barrels were made, so we will have to share this out carefully. it is pale lemon-gold in colour, with delicate, fresh lemon aromas. Palate is full without heaviness, showing superb fruit concentration, creamy texture and a saline, long aftertaste (for drinking 2023-2030+).

Olivier Leflaive Frères
We have been a client uninterruptedly for Olivier Leflaive’s outstanding wines ever since he started the business, with his brother Patrick, in 1984. Many wines come from their own domaine, and an increasing number from vineyards which they manage throughout the year, including the picking. Winemaker Franck Grux, with his right-hand man Philippe Grillet and their teams, are tightly focussed 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 of its rarest, best-value and finest wines – several being exclusively reserved for HH&C..
