The vineyard sits immediately beside Meursault Perrières Dessus, where sloping ground and stony, limestone-rich clay and marl soils contribute to the wine’s pronounced mineral character. The Récolte du Domaine designation identifies grapes harvested from Olivier Leflaive’s own vineyard holdings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand-harvested grapes are pressed, and the juice undergoes settling before alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels.
