Chassagne-Montrachet AOC 2020 Olivier Leflaive

Olivier Leflaive's Chassagne-Montrachet is a wine that reflects the diversity of its terroir which varies considerably within the same appellation. On the one hand, we have more clayey and deeper soils towards Santenay, on the other, lighter and gravelly soils near Puligny-Montrachet.

The harvest of only Chardonnay grapes is carried out entirely by hand, underlining the commitment to the care and selection of the grapes, with the aim of guaranteeing the highest quality. The grapes are delicately pressed using pneumatic presses. Once the alcoholic fermentation is completed, the wine ages for 18 months in oak barrels.

Straw yellow in colour, this Chassagne-Montrachet fascinates with its broad and delicate bouquet of citrus notes of white pulp fruit. On the palate it is generous, combining power and finesse in a perfect balance.

It pairs beautifully with white meats and fish dishes in general.
