Olivier Leflaive Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos St Marc is a white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune. This small, walled vineyard sits within the larger Les Vergers site and is known for producing wines with a distinct floral character. The 2019 vintage was dry and warm, leading to concentrated berries with high sugar levels and balanced acidity. Leflaive employs precise barrel ageing to add complexity without overwhelming the fruit. This wine shows a rich, buttery texture balanced by lime zest and a hint of toasted hazelnut.

The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Marc 1er Cru is just a little monotone on the nose, well-defined but missing a sense of personality. It does gain presence in the glass but stubbornly refuses to engage. The palate is slightly bitter on the entry, the oak a bit clumsy, quite spicy and nutty à la Meursault toward the finish. It does show improvement with aeration, so maybe bottle age will benefit this Chassagne-Montrachet. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Neal Martin12th December 2023
