Opis

Dolazi s “Ćelave planine”, što se lako može objasniti siromaštvom tla. Značajno vino koje svoju veličinu otkriva u suptilnom buketu bijelog cvijeća, jabuke, zrele kruške, začina i mineralnih nota. Glatko i intenzivno na nepcu, ovo je vino vrlo lijepe preciznosti i izvanredno dugog završetka.

It comes from “Bald Mountain,” which can easily be explained by soil poverty. A significant wine that reveals its greatness in a subtle bouquet of white flowers, apples, ripe pears, spices and mineral notes. Smooth and intense on the palate, this wine is of very nice precision and an extraordinarily long finish.

REGIJA / REGION

Burgundija je jedna od 26 pokrajina Francuske, sastoji se od četiri dijela: Yonne, Cote-d’Or, Nievre i Saone-et-Loire, a smještena je na istoku Francuske. Dobila je naziv po bivšoj Kraljevini Burgundiji.

Burgundija je ravničarska zemlja sa uzvišenjima u središnjem dijelu, što je čini pogodnom za uzgoj poljoprivrednih kultura, a ponajviše grožđa. Poljoprivreda u Burgundiji je snažna i specijalizirana, regije Côtes de Beaune, Nuits, Hautes-Côtes, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais, Beaujolais i drugi imaju razvijeno vinogradarstvo.

Klima Burgundije je pretežito kontinentalna s kratkim ljetima i hladnim zimama što je čini izazovnom za uzgoj grožđa. Vapnenačko tlo Burgundije ima veliku ulogu u karakteru njegovih vina, donosi mu suštinsku mineralnost i kompleksnost okusa,  posebice kod bijelih vina. Upravo je tlo zajedno s orijentacijom vinograda zaslužno za Premier Cru i Grand Cru status određenog položaja.

Najjužnije vinorodno područje je Maconnaise s najpoznatijom apelacijom vrhunskog Chardonnay-a Pouilly-Fuisse. Najsjevernija područja su Chablis i Auxerrois, no srce i najpoznatiji dio Brugundije je Côte-d’Or. Burgundijska vina su pretežito bijela, a najpoznatija su vina Chardonnay, Pinot Noir i Pinot Blanc. Burgundijska vina smatraju se jednim od najprestižnijih i najskupljih vina na svijetu.

 

Burgundy is one of the 26 provinces of France, consists of four parts: Yonne, Cote-d’Or, Nievre and Saone-et-Loire, and is located in the east of France. It was named after the former Kingdom of Burgundy.

Burgundy is a lowland country with elevations in the central part, which makes it suitable for growing crops, especially grapes. Agriculture in Burgundy is strong and specialized, the regions of Côtes de Beaune, Nuits, Hautes-Côtes, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais, Beaujolais and others have developed viticulture.

The climate of Burgundy is predominantly continental with short summers and cold winters making it challenging for grape growing. The calcareous soil of Burgundy plays a major role in the character of its wines, bringing it the essential minerality and complexity of taste, especially in white wines. It is the soil along with the orientation of the vineyards that is responsible for the Premier Cru and Grand Cru status of a particular location.

Burgundy has about 27,760 hectares of planted vineyards and 100 appeals that produce about 1.5 million hectoliters of wine. The southernmost wine-growing area is Maconnaise with the most famous appeal of the top Chardonnay Pouilly-Fuisse. The northernmost areas are Chablis and Auxerrois, but the heart and most famous part of Brugundy is the Côte-d’Or. Burgundy wines are predominantly white, and the most famous wines are Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc. Burgundy wines are considered one of the most prestigious and expensive wines in the world.

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY

Sve je počelo 1984. godine kad je Olivier Leflaive Freres odlučio započeti svoju vlastitu vinariju s otkupom grožđa i mošta od drugih vinogradara, što je bilo neobično za Burgundiju u to doba. No obitelj Leflaive posjeduje vinograde u Puligny Montrachet-u još od 1717. godine. U poslu su mu se pridružili njegov brat Patrick i stric Vincent. Filozofija Oliviera Leflaive je proizvodnja vrhunskog vina i sve započinje u vinogradu s dobrim grožđem. 1988. godine u vinariju je stigao  Franck Grux mladi vinar koji je postao voditelj vinarije.

Iako je kvaliteta berbe i grožđa izuzetno važna, također veliku ulogu igraju i vinifikacija i starenje vina kako bi dovele do izražaja esenciju svako vinograda odnosno grožđa. Franck Grux  i Philippe Grillet stavljaju na prvo mjesto kvalitetu vina i poštivanje svakog terroir-a te prema svakom cuvee-u imaju individualni pristup.

Danas vinogradi Oliviera pokrivaju 17 hektara te su pažljivo upravljani prema biodinamičkom pristupu koji se provodi već 20 godina. Grožđe koje se procesuira u vinariji Oliviera dolazi s najboljih 120 hektara cru-eva, većina je bijelog grožđa s tri prestižna mjesta Cote de Beaune – Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet i Meursault te Chablis i Cote Chalonnaise.

It all started in 1984 when Olivier Leflaive Freres decided to start his own winery by buying grapes and must from other winegrowers, which was unusual for Burgundy at the time. But the Leflaive family has owned vineyards in Puligny Montrachet since 1717. He was joined in the business by his brother Patrick and uncle Vincent. Olivier Leflaive’s philosophy is to produce top quality wine and it all starts in a vineyard with good grapes. In 1988, Franck Grux, a young winemaker, arrived at the winery and became the manager of the winery. Although the quality of the harvest and grapes is extremely important, vinification and aging of wine also play an important role in order to express the essence of each vineyard or grape. Franck Grux and Philippe Grillet put the quality of wine and respect for each terroir in the first place, and they have an individual approach to each cuvee. Today, the Oliviera vineyards cover 17 hectares and are carefully managed according to a biodynamic approach that has been implemented for 20 years. The grapes processed at the Oliviera winery come from the best 120 acres of cru, most of the white grapes from the three prestigious Cote de Beaune places – Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault and Chablis and Cote Chalonnaise.
