The 2022 Olivier Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Enseignères is a refined Chardonnay from three parcels immediately below the Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Crus. It offers a delicate yet expressive bouquet of citrus, white peach and pear, accompanied by orange blossom, fresh hazelnut, subtle toast and chalky mineral notes.
On the palate, it is broad, concentrated and beautifully textured, reflecting the richness for which this vineyard is known. Ripe citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by vibrant acidity and a mouth-watering mineral line, while restrained oak adds depth without masking the wine’s finesse. The finish is persistent, saline and finely detailed.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent village-level Puligny with the depth and presence of a more elevated site. Allow it to breathe for 30–45 minutes and serve at 11–13°C, or cellar through 2030 and beyond. Ideal with warm oysters, scallops, grilled lobster, roast chicken, white fish with beurre blanc or creamy mushroom dishes.
