Description

Domaine Leflaive is one of the world’s great wine domains, producing some of Burgundy’s most sought-after white wines. The Leflaive family Domaine has a history dating back to 1717 and has 23 hectares of holdings spread throughout Grand Cru, 1er Cru, Village, and AOC level vineyards around Puligny.

The Domaine gained its prominence in the hands of Anne-Claude Leflaive, who converted the vineyards to biodynamics in the 1990s giving the wines greater transparency in their expression of terroir. Leflaive farms three parcels in Folatières totalling 1.26 hectares. The site has very little soil, and the vines are almost right on the limestone. This precocious site is often the first to be picked. In 2019 it delivered a wine that shows ripe aromas of passionfruit and ripe Cavaillon melon. The modest use of new oak (20%) assures the purity of the fruit. There is still enough acidity here to balance, and the wine is extremely seductive yet also extremely age-worthy. Ideally for mid-term drinking.

Review

Here the beautifully layered nose flirts with the exotic in the form of white and yellow peach, dried apricot, jasmine tea, and a similar array of spice wisps. The ripe yet retrained and more obviously mineral-driven flavours possess excellent depth and persistence on the very lemon-tinged finale. This too is noticeably firmer and should reward a decade-plus of keeping.
