Robert Parker
DOMAINE OLIVIER LEFLAIVE, 2016
BATARD-MONTRACHET
" Il a un bouquet beaucoup plus impliquant et expressif par rapport au Bienvenues. La bouche est légèrement visqueuse à l'entrée, contrebalancée par une acidité vive, pas aussi tendue que celle du Bienvenues, mais étonnamment plus riche que ce à quoi on se serait attendu, avec des traces de miel sauvage vers la finale caressante. Ce vin pourrait bien s'avérer être le meilleur des 2016 de Leflaive. " - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
The family Leflaive estate located in Bourgogne, Côte de Beaune, has been present since 1635. Olivier Leflaive decided to take the business over in 1984 and to create a Bourgogne wine trading house, Olivier Leflaive Frères, a winegrowing and winemaking firm. This was a singular idea which created a “haute couture” trading house.
