Esprit Leflaive
Beaune Premier Cru Les Tuvilains
A selection of unique wines, Esprit Leflaive was born in the 2018 vintage. At the crossroads of fabulous terroirs from Burgundy and an expertise in Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir, Esprit Leflaive ventures beyond the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, to Chablis and the Côte de Nuits, to explore the wider Burgundy.
Les Tuvilains Premier Cru lies at the southern end of Beaune and is known for producing structured, mineral-driven wines; it often draws comparisons to Pommard due to its firm tannin structure.

Attractive fruitiness with beautiful notes of wild strawberries make it a very charming wine. There is immense density on the palate due to the full maturity of tannins which will aid in its longevity.

"On the vegetal side, revealing strawberry, cherry, tomato leaf and incense flavors at its core, this red ends with a sour cherry note."
