TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

This climat is located in the town of Puligny just north of the Bâtard and Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet with the same altitude and soil. This climat is often considered as the best Premier in Puligny and can rival its neighbors in some vintages where it’s minerality will contrast with the intensity of the two Bâtards.

There’s density in the form of concentration and texture, supporting flavors of butterscotch, lemon oil, citronella and peach, with an underlying spiciness. Powerful now, yet judging from the long finish, this will gain finesse with time. Best from 2027 through 2035. Bruce Sanderson – Wine Spectator, 5 Nov 2025, 96 Points

A completely different aromatic profile is comprised by notes of honeysuckle, orange peel, carnation, acacia blossom and a plethora of spice nuances. The delicious, generously proportioned and relatively forward medium- bodied flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract before culminating in a wonderfully complex, balanced, clean and nicely dry finish that possess first-rate persistence. This is also very classy and a wine that is sufficiently pliant that it could be enjoyed young if desired. Allen Meadows – Burghound.com, 10 Jun 2025, Drink 2033+, 92–95 Points

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.
