Puligny-Montrachet Olivier Leflaive 2023

Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach rise from the glass, accented by hawthorn blossom and a touch of flint. The palate is sleek and finely etched, showing orchard fruit wrapped in crisp acidity and a strong mineral thread. Midway, its pale gold hue with green reflections mirrors the brightness and clarity carried through to the long, saline finish. Precise and poised, this is a Puligny of energy and finesse.

Olivier Leflaive has established himself as one of Burgundy’s foremost négociants-éleveurs, sourcing fruit from top sites and working closely with growers to ensure quality and terroir expression. Puligny-Montrachet, famed for its limestone-rich soils and refined, mineral-driven style, consistently produces some of Burgundy’s most elegant Chardonnays. The 2023 vintage brought freshness and aromatic lift, and under Leflaive’s careful hand, the result is a wine that reflects both the purity of the year and the timeless grace of Puligny.
