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.

Tasting

Tasting note

A straight and precise wine, carried by a beautiful minerality. The citrus aromas, with a subtle lemony touch, harmonize with a delicate texture and a slight complexity provided by well-integrated aging on lees. The palate offers beautiful length, combining freshness and depth, for an elegant and expressive finish.

Food pairings

It goes wonderfully with a salmon blanquette, a paella or zucchini pasta.
