The 2022 Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Caillerets is a distinguished white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s most highly regarded Premier Cru vineyards. Situated on the upper slopes of the appellation, the Caillerets vineyard is known for its limestone-rich soils and excellent drainage, producing Chardonnay with remarkable precision, mineral tension and ageing potential. Olivier Leflaive’s careful barrel maturation further enhances the wine’s depth and complexity.
On the palate, it is elegant and beautifully focused, with flavours of white peach, lemon zest and ripe pear supported by vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Subtle notes of toasted almond, acacia blossom and gentle oak spice add complexity and texture, while the wine's balance of richness and freshness creates impressive length. The finish is refined, persistent and distinctly mineral-driven, reflecting the character of this renowned Premier Cru site.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Meursault that combines power, finesse and terroir expression. While already showing excellent detail and balance, it will continue to develop beautifully with cellaring over the next 10–15 years. Pair with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, turbot, creamy seafood dishes or mature soft cheeses.
