Tasting Profile
James Suckling’s 2022 review describes a crisp, lively Chardonnay with apple, lemon zest and mineral tang, gaining toasted almond and butter notes as it opens. Medium-bodied and balanced, it offers a detailed white Burgundy experience in a smaller format.
Expert Review · Vintage 2022
James Suckling, 92 Points: Very snappy and crisp on first sip, this gains depth and complexity in toasted almonds and butter as it opens. Alive with crisp apples, lemon zest and a mineral tang that gives a very lively texture and great balance. Medium-bodied. Blended from 60 sites in the region, it was partially barrel fermented.
Winemaker Description
Winemaker Description: Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc Les Sétilles (family garden) has become one of the most popular items in the entire Frederick Wildman portfolio. Year in/ year out this wine represents impeccable quality and unsurpassed value in the French wine category. This wine exceeds expectations of even the most discriminating of palates.
Les Sétilles is sourced from vineyards within the communes of Puligny Montrachet and Meursault, with each village representing roughly half of the final blend. Grapes are sourced from multiple plots within each village in an effort to maximize complexity of the final wine.
Vintage consistency is the goal with this wine so the blending of lots and aging technique will vary according. Roughly 60% of the wine is aged in Allier oak, only 10% of which is new. The remaining 40% of the wine is aged in stainless steel to preserve clean varietal character.
Food Pairings & Serving
Our suggestions: roast chicken, pan-seared fish or mushroom dishes. Serve chilled, allowing a little time in the glass to explore the developing almond and butter notes described in the review.
