Description

The Chablis Grand Cru of Vaudesir is a very steep vineyard that is sited between Valmur and Preuses and stretches out the two slopes on a comb of Kimmeridgien limestone. Olivier Leflaive buy in grapes from both sides, keeping with the dates of the different grape harvesting so as to obtain perfect maturity in the fruit. Generous and rich the Vaudesir wraps creamy baked pear fruit and warm pastry notes around a firm acid core. This is a great example of grand cru Chablis from a fine vintage.

Burgundy

Burgundy, located in eastern France, is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region is divided into five main wine-producing areas: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Burgundy’s complex terroir, characterised by diverse soils, microclimates, and slope orientations, plays a critical role in the distinctive characteristics of its wines. The region's classification system includes Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village, and Regional appellations, reflecting the hierarchy of quality and location. Burgundy’s vineyards, many with centuries-old histories, produce wines that are revered for their elegance, depth, and expression of terroir. Key towns include Beaune, the region’s wine capital, and Dijon, known for its historical ties to the Dukes of Burgundy. Burgundy’s rich winemaking heritage, combined with its diverse range of wines, makes it a top destination for wine enthusiasts worldwide.
