Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1Er Cru Sous Le Clos D’ane Domaine 2022

Crafted in the famed Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France, Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru "Sous le Dos d'Âne" Domaine 2022 is an exquisite Premier Cru white wine from a uniquely situated high-altitude vineyard. Located on the upper slopes of Meursault bordering Puligny-Montrachet, "Sous le Dos d'Âne" (meaning "Under the Donkey's Back") features shallow limestone soils over a hard bathonian bedrock. Sourced from estate-owned (Récolte du Domaine) Chardonnay vines, this cooler microclimate imparts a remarkable mineral precision, taut acidity, and floral elegance alongside classic Meursault richness. The exceptional 2022 vintage yielded pristine, hand-harvested fruit that underwent gentle pressing, native yeast fermentation, and approximately 18 months of maturation in fine French oak barrels with gentle lees stirring (bâtonnage).

Food Pairing: Pan-seared sea bass, butter-poached lobster, roasted poultry with cream sauce, wild mushroom risotto, seared scallops with lemon-butter, and aged French cheeses like Comté or Époisses
