A straight and precise wine, carried by a beautiful minerality. The citrus aromas, with a subtle lemony touch, harmonize with a delicate texture and a slight complexity provided by well-integrated aging on lees. The palate offers beautiful length, combining freshness and depth, for an elegant and expressive finish.  It will go wonderfully with veal blanquette, paella or even zucchini pasta.

Cuvée hommage to the wine growers' patron saint "Saint-Vincent" but also a tribute to Vincent Leflaive, Olivier Leflaive's uncle, who died in 1993, having built the reputation of the eponymous estate. He was a model and a valuable support for Olivier at the time of the creation of his own wine estate.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
