About this wine

Leflaive’s village Puligny-Montrachet is blended from several parcels around the commune and is made with the same care as the domaine’s premiers and grands crus. It is a clear expression of Puligny: fresh, floral and mineral, with citrus and white-fruit flavours. It is attractive within a few years and can age for a decade.

About Domaine Leflaive

Domaine Leflaive is the leading estate of Puligny-Montrachet, where the Leflaive family has lived since the eighteenth century. The domaine took its modern shape under Joseph Leflaive in the early twentieth century and is still family owned. From 1990 it was run by Anne-Claude Leflaive, who converted the vineyards to biodynamic farming during the 1990s.

The domaine holds parcels in the grands crus Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, and in Puligny’s best premiers crus. Its white Burgundies are prized for their precision, purity and ability to age, and are among the most sought-after Chardonnays in the world.
