The 2022 Olivier Leflaive Chassagne-Montrachet is a classic white Burgundy that beautifully captures the richness, minerality and elegance of this renowned Côte de Beaune appellation. Crafted from Chardonnay grown on the limestone-rich slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet, it opens with expressive aromas of citrus, white peach and orchard fruit, layered with white flowers, toasted almonds and subtle oak spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a silky texture, vibrant acidity and impressive balance, showing flavours of lemon curd, stone fruit and fine mineral complexity. The finish is long, fresh and refined, combining richness with precision and tension.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent premium Burgundy for customers who enjoy elegant yet generous Chardonnay styles with freshness and depth rather than heavy oak. It’s polished, food-friendly and highly versatile, offering classic Chassagne character at a superb level of quality. Drink now or cellar over the next 5–10 years. Perfect with lobster, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or fine French cuisine.
