The great Domaine Leflaive is as important an estate as exists in Burgundy. Shepherded for its glory years by Anne-Claude Leflaive, the domaine was the beacon of everything possible as we entered a new era in wine; she was the guiding hand beyond conversion to biodynamic viticulture throughout Burgundy, sought as a mentor for countless luminaries of today's wine scene. Moving out of the Parker-ized wines of the 80s and 90s, and returning the region as a greater whole toward sensible, sustainable viticulture, producing wines of class & elegance, that is a legend that will stand the test of time.

Domaine Leflaive

Brice de la Morandiere has guided his family's estate since Anne-Claude's passing, and has humbly continued to demand excellence throughout every aspect of production. This has included the slow but steady expansion into regions outside of the home plots surrounding the great Mont Rachet - into Macon and further outward towards Chablis, Savigny, Gevrey and more. 

The "Domaines" Leflaive label denotes the Macon wines, moving forward; "Esprit" will encompass the other negoce wines, while the Puligny, Chassagne, Meursault and traditional Leflaive-owned Grand Crus will remain under the Domaine Label. 

The Domaine owns 24 hectares in Burgundy, including 4.8 ha of Grand Crus, entirely Chardonnay. Winemaking is slow and intentional, if hands-off, largely. Fermentations occur naturally in small barrels, where it will age for one year prior to transferring to stainless for blending and additional aging before bottling.

Leflaive's 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru was vinified and matured in a single 300-liter barrel made by Stéphane Chassin. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, honeycomb, hazelnuts, buttered toast, orange oil and baking spices, it's full-bodied, rich and layered, with lovely mid-palate amplitude, tangy acids and chalky structuring extract. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, it will be to all intents and purposes unobtainable.

The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru was served at the Domaine from a Coravin’d bottle, the first time I had tasted this Holy Grail at the property. As usual, it was matured in a new barrel tailored to the quantity produced that year. It has an intriguing nose, the imprimatur of the wood more tangible than the Chevalier-Montrachet as you would expect, hints of almond and praline complementing the yellow fruit, gaining intensity and precision with every passing moment. The palate has exquisite, ethereal balance with a fine bead of acidity, so much concentration yet harmonious, with a silky smooth texture and ineffably pure finish. Amazing persistency - this is an awe-inspiring Montrachet. Closure: Diam 30
