Saint Aubin 1er Cru Combes au Sud 2021 - Olivier Leflaive
Domaine Olivier Leflaive
Vintage 2021
- Ideal drinking period: 2023 - 2029
- The 2021 wine year proved demanding right up to the last minute.Between 5 and 9 April, violent frosts severely reduced yields, delaying the awakening of the vines.The cool, rainy months of April and May didn't make things any easier.Throughout the season, right up to the harvest which began on 20 September, sudden changes in the weather required constant vigilance and a great deal of responsiveness.
- Fortunately, June brought a lull in the weather that allowed the grapes to flower without incident, while the veraison benefited from favourable conditions from mid-August onwards.
