Corton-Charlemagne 2012 - Olivier Leflaive

Tasting notes

"The 2012 Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru from Olivier Leflaive is one of better examples from this vineyard, despite showing some reduction on the nose. Fortunately, there is no combined sulphur here, perhaps in some ways not distant from the Coche-Dury style. (...) The palate is fresh and crisp with plenty of lime and mineral notes, impressive weight in the mouth with a long, intense finish that delivers what you expect from a Corton-Charlemagne. (...) "

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Olivier Leflaive is the son of Joseph, nephew of Vincent and cousin of Anne-Claude. He was co-manager of Domaine Leflaive with his uncle Vincent from 1982-1990, and with Anne-Claude from 1990-1994, by which time the négociant business, which he had started in 1985 in order to have some wines to play with outside Puligny-Montrachet, had really blossomed.

Production is now around 70,000 cases across 65 different appellations, 85 per cent in white wine. Included in the production are his own vineyards which cover 15 hectares in Puligny, Chassagne and Meursault.

Wines which are solely from Olivier Leflaive’s own vines are marked ‘Récolte du Domaine’.
