Olivier Leflaive - Montagny 1er Cru 2011
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
Hachette Wine Guide rating: 2** (Outstanding wine) + Favorite
"Olivier Leflaive and Franck Grux, the cellar master, play on an ideal palette where their intuition and expertise give rise to remarkable vintages, such as this premier cru from three plots harvested mechanically and vinified for three months before bottling. First, you'll appreciate the brilliant green-gold color and the intense aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds. Then you'll savor a perfectly balanced body between richness and liveliness. The long, lemony finish makes this Montagny ideal for seafood, such as a fish terrine, either now or in three years.

About the estate:
To taste Olivier Leflaive's wines, it is advisable to make a reservation at his table d'hôte in the center of Puligny, where you can enjoy a peaceful meal paired with wine. You can also stay overnight, with rooms overlooking the vineyard. The wines sold by the négociant are always of the highest quality thanks to Franck Grux's experience and technical talent, which enable him to achieve great precision of style and negotiate delicate vintages such as 2012. Since 2011, the estate's wines have taken their place following Olivier's legacy, allowing you to taste Puligny's premier and grand crus. The 2013 vintage is superbly interpreted.

About wine:
To produce a great wine in a communal appellation, nothing beats the old Burgundian principle of the "cuvée ronde," which involves blending wines from different, complementary plots. Olivier Leflaive and Franck Grux, the cellar master, play on an ideal palette where their intuition and expertise give rise to remarkable cuvées, such as this premier cru from three plots harvested mechanically and vinified for three months before bottling. First, you will appreciate the brilliant green-gold color and the intense aromas of citrus, white flowers, and toasted almonds. Then you will savor a perfectly balanced body between richness and liveliness. The long lemony finish makes this Montagny ideal for seafood, such as a fish terrine, today or in three years.

Delicious with lobster. Excellent value for money. A well-balanced wine. I should have bought several cases.
