Cuvée Oncle Vincent

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. He was a model and a valuable support for Olivier at the time of the creation of his wine house.

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.

Tasting

Tasting note

The aromas of this wine express the fruits with white pulpit (pear, peach ...), with buttered notes. Of a beautiful fracher in the mouth, its texture is creamy, of a beautiful outfit with a zest of nerve that surpasses it. The selection of vines for this cuvée allows to produce a Burgundy White more aristocratic, more tense and serious in intensity, more Puligny!

Food pairings
