Olivier Leflaive Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru 2020

Olivier Leflaive Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru is white Burgundy from one of the smallest grand crus of the Côte de Beaune, lying entirely within the commune of Puligny-Montrachet.

Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet covers a little under four hectares on the gentle mid-slope beside Bâtard-Montrachet and just below Le Montrachet itself, and it is shared among a considerable number of owners, so bottles are scarce. It lies wholly within Puligny-Montrachet, whereas Bâtard-Montrachet itself straddles the boundary with Chassagne-Montrachet. Olivier Leflaive established his maison in Puligny-Montrachet in 1984, having worked in the family domaine, and built it on carefully sourced fruit vinified in the village. The Chardonnay is fermented and matured in oak barrels, with a proportion of new wood judged so that the site rather than the cask sets the tone.

Serve at around 12 degrees, ideally from a large glass, with turbot, scallops, poultry in a cream sauce or a fine Comté.
