Olivier Leflaive Santenay Blanc 2023

A white wine from Burgundy made by Olivier Leflaive from Chardonnay. The grapes come from three hillside plots, Les Bras, Sous la fee and Sous Roche, in the village of Santenay, on limestone soils. After fermentation, the wine ages for 12 months: four months in steel and the rest in oak barrels, a small percentage new. It is pale straw with golden reflections. The nose shows ripe yellow fruit, toasted almond and hazelnut; the palate is fresh, soft and balanced by a savoury vein. It pairs with white meats and fish in sauce.
