Description
Still white wine from Chablis, 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre, 12.5% ABV, produced by Olivier Leflaive in Burgundy, France. 100% Chardonnay, 2023 vintage. A wine that embodies the elegance and minerality of Chablis, with a family history rooted in the heart of Burgundy. The grapes are carefully pressed and aged for 12 months, four of which in stainless steel and the remainder in oak barrels. Granny Smith apples, along with citrus notes, open the bouquet, which then develops into mineral notes and hints of white flowers. Intense straw yellow. Balanced between freshness and structure, with a good persistence.

Just after the First World War, Olivier’s grandfather, Joseph Leflaive was faced with the failure of his steel factory in Saint-Etienne.
His investments in Burgundy were all he had left and he decided to enlarge his wine estate. It became a family-run operation covering some 35 hectares. His son, Joseph Régis, was in insurance and along with his brother Vincent, decided to take over the reins in 1953.
The estate soon began producing top-flight wines, mainly due to the arrival of air conditioning in Puligny in the 1970s. This was a major step for winemakers in this village which sits two meters above the water table and as such, had no underground cellars. Read more
