Olivier Leflaive 2009 Clos Saint Marc Premier Cru (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Country: France / Clos Saint Marc Premier Cru
Variety: Chardonnay Burgundy
Winery: Olivier Leflaive / Chassagne-Montrachet

An intense, mineral-driven wine, tasting of the limestone soil as well as very ripe fruit. Great acidity keeps the richness in line, toast offering sweetness. The wine is full-bodied, the flavors going right through to the apple-skin-textured core.
