Bourgogne

Cuvée Margot

Margot, the Queen and also the name of a daughter of Olivier Leflaive.

After a cold and dry start to the year, temperatures rose quickly at the end of March, triggering a rapid resumption of the growing cycle. A few morning frosts impacted part of the vineyard at the end of April but without major damage. The flowering period takes place in a few days at the beginning of June in superb weather. The summer is hot and sunny but delivers some welcome storm rain to help the plant enter the veraison stage. The harvest takes place at the beginning of September with ideal weather and impeccable health quality of the grapes.

Vineyard

We decided to blend vineyards from la Côte de Beaune, from Puligny-Montrachet to Pernand-Vergelesses and old vineyards in les Hautes Côtes. About twenty different plots. Cuvee vinified from the purchase of grapes and sometimes from selected cuvees.
