2020 Olivier Leflaive Bienvenue Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

The 2020 Olivier Leflaive Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is an extraordinary white Burgundy that showcases the power, precision and elegance of one of the Côte de Beaune’s most revered Grand Cru vineyards. Crafted from old-vine Chardonnay in Puligny-Montrachet, it opens with intensely layered aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, lemon curd and ripe orchard fruit, complemented by notes of brioche, butter, toasted hazelnut and flinty minerality.

On the palate is full-bodied yet remarkably refined, with superb concentration, vibrant acidity and a silky, expansive texture. Complex flavours of white peach, citrus zest, chalk, spice and subtle oak unfold into a long, mineral-driven finish of exceptional depth and balance.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a world-class Grand Cru Burgundy for serious Chardonnay collectors and fine wine enthusiasts. It combines richness and power with remarkable finesse and precision, offering both immediate prestige and outstanding cellaring potential. Decant if drinking young, or cellar comfortably for 10–20+ years. Perfect with lobster, turbot, scallops, truffle dishes or fine French cuisine.
