OLIVIER LEFLAIVE Saint Aubin 1er Cru 'En Remilly' 2024 CASE x 6 Bottles - PRE-RELEASE

Description

Olivier Leflaive studied at business school before heading to Paris, where he lived a rather bohemian life in the 1970s. He returned to Burgundy in ’81 to manage Domaine Leflaive with his uncle Vincent and, later, his cousin Anne-Claude. He set up his own négociant business in ’84, leaving the family domaine a decade later. Winemaker Franck Grux now makes 85-90 different cuvées, vinifying the equivalent of 120 hectares – 17 of which are estate-owned. The focus is on elegance and finesse over power.

En Remilly lies atop the slope above Chevalier-Montrachet, a windswept plateau strewn with chalk pebbles, giving wines with an airy, energetic profile. In the cool, sodden summer of 2024, this stony, high-altitude site fared particularly well, its exposure to the elements helping aerate the bunches, while bony soils wicked away excess moisture. The resulting wine is one of the most ‘complete’ En Remillys in recent years. Taut and vivid, firm and mineral, this is a wine alive with energy, subtle jasmine weaving with oyster shells, tight, bright orchard fruit dancing on crushed rock (now there’s an image!). Yet, there is a sense of silk beneath the chalk. The oak is delicately handled, framing a wine that feels just ripe enough, tensile, beautifully judged.
