The 2015 vintage for Burgundy was generally considered great, with good yields in some areas and fine quality grapes. Olivier Leflaive's wines from this year are noted for being compact and not overtly warm, despite the vintage's characteristics. Notably, from the 2014 vintage onwards, Olivier Leflaive began using Diam 30 corks and implemented several winemaking changes to address concerns about premature oxidation. These changes include increased attention to press fractions, browning of the must, and racking under nitrogen, all aimed at ensuring the wine's longevity and quality. This Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres 1er Cru 2015 is described as a very lively and vivid wine. On the palate, it presents notes of sliced lemon, green lime, green mangoes, and a distinct stony minerality. It boasts a medium to full body with bright acidity, culminating in a long and vivid finish. Further tasting notes reveal a bouquet of white floral aromas, pronounced minerality, hints of honey, and a saline touch, complemented by lemon zest and grapefruit. Underlying complexities include nuances of oak, butter, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness, alongside tree fruit notes like apple, green apple, and pear. Floral undertones of acacia and chamomile, and nutty hints of toasted hazelnuts, add to its refined profile. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions for this elegant white Burgundy include shellfish, pasta, and rich fish such as salmon or tuna. It also harmonizes beautifully with mild and soft cheeses, cured meats, chicken, and turkey dishes. 🥂 This wine is an excellent choice for a celebratory dinner, a special occasion, or a sophisticated gathering where a complex and elegant white Burgundy is highly appreciated. Its crispness, minerality, and refined character make it particularly suitable for pairing with gourmet cuisine. 【A great vintage with winemaking changes to combat premox, ensuring longevity and quality.】
