    The wine

    The result of sustainable growth, this grand cru is a blend of vines located in Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet in clay-chalk soil. Matured for a year in barrels (30% new wood), it has a lovely, little character. Its aromatic bouquet is released in notes of lemon, butter and vanilla. The palate marked by the same generosity, with superb mineral and acidic qualities useful for cellaring.

    Information about domain Olivier Leflaive

    A figurehead for Patrimonio, and one of the most charismatic Corsican winegrowers, Antoine Arena produces wines of extraordinary precision. He has managed the property since 1980 (which originally only consisted of three hectares of vines) and was joined by his sons Jean-Baptiste and Antoine-Marie in 2004. The vineyard now covers 11 hectares, with red (Nielluccio) and white grapes (Vermentino, Bianco Gentile and Muscat à Petits Grains for the sweet wines). No chemical fertilizers or herbicides are used; and in the winery, the most natural techniques possible are employed. The Arena''s philosophy, besides the careful observation and ploughing of the soil, is to bring out the best in their terroir; to accomplish this, a plot by plot approach is taken. The vineyard is managed according to biodynamic principles and has AB organic certification.
