Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Oncle Vincent, Burgundy 2019

Cuvée homage to the owner of the winemakers “Saint-Vincent” and especially to Vincent Leflaive, uncle of Olivier Leflaive, who died in 1993, having made the reputation of the eponymous estate. Fresh pale lemon colour. A soft and generous bouquet, ‘Oncle Vincent’ is made from their own Puligny based Bourgogne vines, all in wood, with 15% new barrel. Tighter structure, this is an oaked chardonnay, but judiciously so, with pure white fruit on the palate and good acidity. Impressively long finish.
