TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Freshly sliced apple, lemon rind and petrol nuances precede the delicious, punchy and voluminous flavors that offers solid depth and persistence on the nicely dry finish where touches of youthful austerity and rusticity slowly emerge. This is first-rate for a regional wine and very much recommended. Allen Meadows – Burghound.com, 10 Jun 2025, 87–89 Points

The 2023 Bourgogne Blanc has an attractive bouquet with green apple and light dewy meadow scents. Fine delineation. The palate is crisp and fresh, malic in style with a fresh Granny Smith-tinged finish that doesn't outstay its welcome. Fine. Neal Martin – Vinous, May 2025, 88 Points

Producer

Domaine Leflaive

Domaine Leflaive is a winery in Puligny-Montrachet. The domaine is very highly regarded for its white wines and its vineyard holdings include 5.1 hectares (13 acres) of Grand Cru vineyards. The earliest roots of the domaine goes back to 1717 and a Claude Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet. The domaine of today more directly goes back to Joseph Leflaive (1870–1953), who was a native of Puligny-Montrachet, but who had initially pursued a career as a naval engineer, having managed a factory in St Etienne and been involved in the construction of the first French submarine. In 1905, when Burgundy had not yet recovered from the effect of the phylloxera epidemic, which meant that vineyards were for sale at a very low price, Leflaive was able to buy 25 hectares (62 acres) for his domaine. In 1920, Leflaive started a programme of replantation with better adapted root stock, and progressively started to sell wine under his own label rather than to négociants. After the death of Joseph Leflaive in 1953, the domaine was managed by Joseph's sons Vincent Leflaive and Jo Leflaive, and it was during this time that its reputation as a top Burgundy producer was built up. In 1973, the domaine was given a company structure to avoid splitting it up with subsequent inheritance. In 1990, Vincent's daughter Anne-Claude Leflaive and her cousin Olivier Leflaive took over the running of the domain. Because Olivier Leflaive was also running a négociant business, in 1994, Anne-Claude Leflaive took over the running of the domain on her own, following a decision of the various family members who collectively own the domaine. In 1997, Anne-Claude took the decision to convert the domain to biodynamic winemaking.
