2022 Bourgogne, Oncle Vincent, Olivier Leflaive, Burgundy

Description

This cuvée was created in homage to Vincent Leflaive, who built the great reputation of the family domaine. Uncle Vincent would be proud. The wine shows wonderful balance, precision and richness. Beautiful floral notes on the nose are followed by vibrant citrus on the palate. Fifteen percent new oak provides impressive roundness and lovely length.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 88-89/100

Ready to bottle. The fruit is taken only from the Puligny sector. Oncle Vincent is very pale in colour, with a gentle orchard fruit nose. Some grip on the plate, wood tannins adding to the structure, nicely balanced with power at the back. Still building on the palate.

Drink 2025 - 2028

About this wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne

In the Burgundy hierarchy, “Bourgogne” denotes the entry level of the classification system. This is a so-called “regional” appellation, theoretically covering the entire vineyard area of Burgundy. This is distinct from the more geographically precise village-level, Premier Cru and Grand Cru designations. The two most common Bourgogne-level wines are Bourgogne Blanc (“White Burgundy”) and Bourgogne Rouge (“Red Burgundy”).
