Bourgogne

Cuvée Margot

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

A dream vintage which offers generous volumes and superb quality. Water is a major player during the winter which allows the vines to build up their reserves before a particularly hot and dry summer. Favored by a mild spring, flowering took place perfectly with beautiful and numerous clusters. No major climatic incident hampers the growing cycle. The harvest, which was in impeccable health, took place from August 27 to September 15.

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.
