Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc

The roots of the Leflaive family go back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive took up residence in Puligny-Montrachet, intent upon cultivating several acres of vineyards. The domaine, in its present form, was created by Joseph Leflaive between the years of 1910-1930, as a result of his successive purchases of vineyards and houses. Domaine Leflaive has been entirely a family domaine since its creation. Brice de La Morandière, great-grandson of the founder, Joseph Leflaive, represents the fourth generation at the head of the domaine. In 2015, after an international corporate career, he succeeded Anne-Claude, pioneer in biodynamics. It is with the same philosophy of respect for the great terroirs, humility toward the forces of nature and relentless pursuit of excellence in viticulture and in winemaking that the domaine will continue to grow in the future.

Domaine Leflaive’s Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from old vines in “Les Houlières” and younger vines in “Les Parties”, both of which reside in Puligny-Montrachet. Wine Advocate has previously described it as: “precisely what you want from a Bourgogne Blanc.” But it’s so much more than just a humble Bourgogne Blanc, this has a discreet oak frame surrounding a masterpiece of ripe peach, crunchy apple, refreshing grapefruit, tangy lemon tart, orange zest, vanilla, chalk, gentle spice and distant lavender fields. Partner with roast chicken, tagine, coq au vin, grilled fish, creamy sauces or risotto.
