TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Coming from 7 different plots all throughout the AOC, the Village wines from Domaine Leflaive are a great representation of the wines of Puligny. The minerality, combined with the unique texture, make this wine stand out from the crowd, leading the way to the greatness of the Premiers and Grands Cru from the family.

A bright, perfumed white, boasting floral, white peach, lemon zest and pastry aromas and flavors. Silky in texture and harmonious, this persists on the long, vanilla- and mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2033. Bruce Sanderson – Wine Spectator, 5 Nov 2025, 93 Points

Ripe but cool and airy aromas include those of acacia blossom, citrus confit and crushed fennel. There is fine punch and a notably more sophisticated texture to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length on the youthfully austere and quite dry finale. This could use more depth so I would suggest allowing this at least a few years of cellar time.
Note: from several different lieux-dits, 30% of which is from Brélance with additional contributions from Les Tremblots and Grands Champs.

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.
