Domaine Leflaive
Domaine Leflaive is the
most most famous estate in Puligny-Montrachet.
Anne-Claude Leflaive became co-gérant of this famous Puligny
domaine in 1990 - she had long believed that the use of fertilisers and
herbicides was doing serious long-term damage to the soil in Burgundy and one
of her first innovations was to move towards an organic approach to her
vineyards.
In 1997, by which time Anne-Claude Leflaive had become sole gérant, she committed the domaine wholeheartedly to biodynamism, following in the footsteps of Lalou Bize-Leroy and Nicolas Joly.
Leflaive has 22 hectares of vineyards, including 10 hectares of Premiers Crus ( in Puligny Montrachet: Les Combettes, Les Pucelles, Les Clavoillons, Les Folatieres/Les Chalumeaux and in Blagny: Sous le Dos d'Ane) and no fewer than 5 hectares of Grands Crus (Chevalier Montrachet, Batard Montrachet, Bienvenues Batard Montrachet.
The wines are aged for 12 months in 25% new oak and are then transferred to steel tanks where they are allowed to clarify naturally over the second winter. They are then fined and bottled. Leflaive produces superb wines that combine richness and depth of fruit with elegance, refinement and perfect balance.

Thanks to the declassified villages, this always boxes above its weight and the 2007 version is no exception with its lightly toasted notes highlighting the fresh and relatively elegant aromas of floral and pear that slide gracefully into citrusy and detailed flavors that possess plenty of energy ...

This is a very stylish Puligny, with notes of spice and liquorice as well as fresh white fruit. There is enough acidity to keep the wine lively and it is certainly concentrated. (Jasper Morris MW - BBR Burgundy Buyer) Drink 2008-2013 . | ||||

A pretty and extremely fresh, bright and expressive nose offers up hints of white flower, peach and apple that precede the clean, intense, precise and energetic medium-bodied flavors that possess good cut and more precision than I usually see with this wine, all wrapped in a mildly austere and ...

The Leflaive team now plough this vineyard by horse rather than tractor. As well as the more typical white fruit flavours there is a touch of mintiness here as well, a sign of extreme youth. This will be best from 2010. (Jasper Morris MW - BBR Burgundy Buyer) Drink 2010-2015 . | ||||

In contrast to the expressiveness of the Clavoillon, the nose of Puligny Montrachet, Les Folatières is restrained and backward with more primary notes of lemon peel and rose petal with spiced pear nuances that can also be found on the pure, racy, intense and strikingly detailed ...

A mild hint of exotic fruit together with honeysuckle and slight oak influences gives way to rich, full and notably generous medium weight plus flavors that possess good mid-palate fat and extract, which serve to buffer the firm acid spine on the wonderfully fine and lingering finish.

The benchmark of Leflaive's Pulignys. Old gold colour shot with green. Intensely but finely perfumed both mineral and concentratedly rich. The palate is almost etheral, balancing great power, richness and depth with a taut, intricate structure, generous and magically clean and fresh to the ... MORE | ||||

An exceptionally fine bouquet with the classical Puligny mix of florality and steeliness. The flavours keep building in the glass: marvelous weight, excellent minerality, astonishing persistence. Brilliant wine to drink. (Jasper Morris MW - BBR Burgundy Buyer) Drink 2012-2016 . | ||||
