The 2022 Olivier Leflaive Meursault is a beautifully balanced white Burgundy that showcases the richness, freshness and elegance for which Meursault is renowned. Crafted from a blend of carefully selected vineyard parcels across the appellation, it opens with refined aromas of almond, citrus and white flowers, layered with notes of orchard fruit, hazelnut 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, peach and fine mineral complexity. The finish is long, polished and fresh, combining creamy Meursault texture with precision and lift.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to premium white Burgundy for customers who enjoy elegant Chardonnay with richness and restraint rather than heavy oak. It’s polished, versatile and highly food-friendly, offering classic Meursault character with immediate drinkability. Drink now or cellar over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with lobster, roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes or mushroom risotto.
