Cuvée Margot

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

Until the last day, the 2021 wine year is trying. Marked by severe episodes of frost between April 5 and 9 which significantly reduced the harvest, the vines awakening was difficult, and the months of April and May were rainy and cool. Until the harvest, which began on September 20, the brutal weather changes set their tempo: responsiveness and constant attention are necessary. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed the flowering to take place without incident and veraison was favored by good conditions which set in from mid-August.

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.
