HISTORY
Domaine Leflaive traces its history back to 1717, but it is said that Joseph Leflaive (1870-1953) is the true founder of this illustrious estate. Moreover, recent history owes a tremendous debt to his granddaughter, Anne-Claude Leflaive, who was manager from 1990 until her untimely death in 2015. Brice de La Morandière (Anne-Claude’s nephew and great-grandson of Joseph) has been the domaine’s managing director ever since. Domaine Leflaive is a standard bearer for biodynamics.
Based in Puligny-Montrachet, the domaine is one of the absolute benchmarks of fine white Burgundy. It has, since Brice’s arrival in the 2014 vintage, moved up to another level. Technical Diam corks have been used since 2014, the cellars have been renovated and the handling of grapes and wines rethought. 2022 was the first vintage made in the domaine’s pristine new cuverie, which has further enhanced their ability to fine-tune every aspect of the process.

The Vineyard
The prime motivation for introducing biodynamic principles initially was Anne-Claude’s concern about the sustainability of the land but the rewards have extended far beyond the vineyards, which have thrived under the regime. There were remarkable quality improvements in the finished wines — a welcome, unintended and totally unexpected bonus. The domaine’s holdings include a total of over 42 hectares: 17.24 across the Mâconnais, 9 hectares that produce village and regional wines, 11.3 hectares of premiers crus and 4.74 hectares across grand crus sites, which include Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet and Montrachet. Since 2015, the domaine under Brice’s leadership has gradually expanded with nearly 3 hectares replanted in Puligny, 7 hectares acquired in the Mâconnais, and new plantings in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune.
