Olivier Leflaive Auxey-Duresses is a beautifully crafted Chardonnay from the esteemed Olivier Leflaive estate, rooted in the charming Auxey-Duresses appellation, nestled next to Meursault. Sourced from lieux-dits like Macabrée and La Canée, the vineyard boasts clay-limestone soils and a hillside altitude of 300-350 meters, fostering ideal growing conditions. With vines averaging 31 years of age, this wine is a harmonious expression of tradition and precision. Winemaking embraces a balance of modernity and heritage—grapes are carefully pressed with pneumatic presses, and the wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels, 15% of which are new. Perfectly embodying the elegance of Burgundy, it’s a radiant showcase of terroir-driven craftsmanship and Olivier Leflaive’s legacy of excellence.
