Olivier Leflaive Chassagne-Montrachet Houillères 2020
From Olivier Leflaive in Burgundy’s Chassagne-Montrachet, the Houillères 2020 is a refined 100% Chardonnay from a vineyard on limestone soils near Puligny-Montrachet. Fermented in stainless steel and oak barrels, it is vegan-friendly, offering a pale straw hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A refined, mineral-driven white with vibrant fruit, showcasing Chassagne-Montrachet’s terroir.
The nose reveals citrus, honeysuckle, and hawthorn, with hints of hazelnut and fresh butter. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and silky, with crisp acidity, a nutty structure, and flavors of lemon, green apple, and a long, steely finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this white with Western dishes like grilled fish or creamy risotto to highlight its vibrant fruit and minerality. For Chinese cuisine, try 蒸鮮蝦餃, 清蒸石斑魚, 蟹鉗, 醬爆肉丁, 椒鹽九肚魚, or 豉椒炒蜆 to complement its crisp acidity and citrus notes. Ideal for elegant dinners or seafood feasts.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve chilled at 10°C in a white wine glass to enhance aromas; no decanting needed. Enjoy now or cellar until 2028 for added complexity, developing nutty and toasty notes. Explore our Chassagne-Montrachet collection for more Chardonnay classics.
