2022 Olivier Leflaive Meursault Les Vireuils 750ml

Experience the high-altitude precision of the 2022 Olivier Leflaive Meursault "Les Vireuils" 750ml at VS Liquor. Sourced from one of the most respected "village" level vineyards in the appellation, Les Vireuils is perched high on the Meursault hillside, bordering the cooler village of Auxey-Duresses. This unique position, at an elevation of 300 to 350 meters, allows the 40-year-old vines to retain a racy, electric acidity that contrasts beautifully with Meursault’s traditional richness. The 2022 vintage is being celebrated across Burgundy as a "solar" year that remarkably maintained freshness, yielding wines with generous fruit and a deep mineral core. Following 18 months of aging in French oak (20% new), this 100% Chardonnay is a masterclass in balance, offering a more "chiseled" and linear profile than its neighbors on the lower slopes.

Whether you are seeking a prestigious gift for a lover of fine white Burgundy or a high-scoring masterpiece (91 Points, Burghound; 92 Points, Jasper Morris) to pair with sole meunière, lobster tail, or roasted poultry in a light cream sauce, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 13% ABV icon brought directly to your door. In the glass, it reveals a luminous gold hue with silver reflections. The bouquet is highly sophisticated and layered, offering aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, complemented by notes of toasted hazelnut and a hint of pastry. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied and incredibly precise, delivering a concentrated core of citrus and stone fruit framed by a flinty minerality and a long, energetic finish that showcases the cool hilltop terroir of Vireuils.
