Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Cuvée Margot 2006 - $20



David: Olivier Leflaive is a major producer of spectacular white wines. This red burgundy is named after his daughter Margot. The pinot noir grapes are sourced from a variety of vineyards in the cote de Beaune region.

Bright garnet in color with a nose of cherry fruit and hints of earthiness. Vibrant and tart with cherry and strawberry fruit. Crisp fruit flavors meld into relaxed tannins with minerals on the finish. Better served on the cool side.
Score: 4.0/5

Jessica: Bright, true red. This wine has vibrant fruits with tart tones of cherry and strawberry. This wine lean towards the astringent side, but still manages to have some layers to it, with a slight caramel creamy backdrop. Very minor smokiness in the nose. I do not detect the tannins hardly at all. It is a very happy, delightful wine.
Score: 4.4/5
