Leflaive
About Domaine Leflaive
The single most famous and enormously respected estate in Puligny-Montrachet, there have been members of the Leflaive clan dabbling in vinous affairs in the area since 1717 – the true founder of the current domaine as we know it, however, was Joseph Leflaive (1970-1953). The great man’s sons did an admirable job of expanding their vineyard holdings, as well as building the foundations of the fearsome reputation this Burgundian legend enjoys to this day.
It was under the visionary and transformative stewardship of Anne-Claude Leflaive, taking the reins in 1990, that this mythical domaine became a leader of Burgundy’s now-ubiquitous biodynamic movement, with the entire estate converting to fully biodynamic as early as 1997! The tragic and untimely death of Anne-Claude in 2015 saw general management pass to Eric Remy, who is doing an admirable job of honouring the legacy of the great woman.
Viniculture
Domaine Leflaive is one of the largest holders of Grands and 1er Crus in the appellation, with 22 hectares in total of which no fewer than 5 are Grands Crus. One would be hard pressed to find any domaine with finer plots at their disposal, and it is most fortunate that the Leflaive family are true masters at expressing every ounce of sublime minerality, personality and vitality from these exceptional terroirs.

(1x75cl) 2002Vinous (92)
Captivating aromas of lime, mint, acacia flower, hazelnut and grilled oak. Highly aromatic in the mouth, with brisk flavors of lime oil and white flowers supported by a firm mineral underpinning. Already quite expressive but boasts terrific grip and energy. Vibrant, very long finish features lime and minerals. Classic Puligny-Montrachet with great finesse.Inc. GSTSG$920.59 -
(12x75cl) 2003Vinous (88)
Medium yellow. Less vintage-typical aromas of orange, nutmeg and flint. Then more vibrant in the mouth, with a fine-grained texture and enticing floral lift. A bit warm on the end, but finishes with very good thrust and length. This has finesse for a 2003.Inc. GSTSG$9,492.59 -
(1x150cl) 2004Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (89-92)
(this was the earliest wine to go through malo) Very pure, perfumed aromas of peach and white flowers. Juicy and taut, with sharply delineated flavors of peach, lemon, flowers and minerals. Lovely harmonious acidity extends the wine's finish. The first of these wines to show the real final balance of 2004, notes Morey.Inc. GSTSG$2,027.18 -
(6x75cl) 2006Vinous (92)
The 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Folatières from Leflaive was layered, rich and weighty, with tons of character, while Sauzet’s 2006 Puligny-Montrachet Referts showed more of a flinty, mineral-driven personality. Both were beautiful.Inc. GSTSG$5,063.53 -
(3x150cl) 2011Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)
Pale, bright yellow. Expressive musky aromas of candied lemon peel, peach, spices and flowers. Silky, fresh and firm, with ripe acidity framing and carrying the flavors of lemon peel and flowers. Lovely stuffing and lift here. Finishes dry and perfumed, with sneaky length and subtle minerality. Leflaive is using just 20% to 25% new oak for their premier crus nowadays, notes winemaker Eric Remy.Inc. GSTSG$4,595.96 -

(this and the following premier crus were bottled in March): Pale, bright yellow. Musky, fruit-driven aromas of ripe peach, nectarine and tangerine. Supple and plump but dry, showing less obvious acidity and cut than the Clavoillon. Finishes with a dusty impression of extract. But in an awkward stage two months after the bottling.Inc.

Bright, pale yellow. Riper and more expressive on the nose than the Folatières, with apricot and peach aromas lifted by minerality. In a distinctly richer, sweeter, more open-knit style than the Folatières in the middle palate, showing a strong spice character and a firm mineral underpinning. Turns considerably tighter on the long back end, finishing saline, vibrant and very dry. This has outstanding potential.Inc. GSTSG$6,002.06 -

A pretty bouquet of citrus blossom, Meyer lemon, crisp green pear and pastry cream introduces the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Folatières, a medium to full-bodied wine that's beautifully satiny and elegant, with excellent depth and dimension, a harmonious sense of completeness and bright balancing acids, concluding with a long and pure finish.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières 1er Cru has a little more amplitude compared to the Clavaillon, scents of Granny Smith apples and dewy meadow on a cold morning. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a little more weight and girth than the Clavaillon, not to mention a touch more salinity and race on the persistent finish. Excellent.

5-Star wine A pretty lemon yellow colour. There are extra layers to the bouquet here, ripe fruit and summer flowers while retaining precision, yet with an extra dimension. Pierre thinks this cuvée has stood out from the start of fermentation. There is a velvet gloss to the texture without disturbing the crystalline backbone.

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières has also turned out very nicely, mingling aromas of pear and orange oil with notions of freshly baked bread, struck match and warm stones.

(1x75cl) 2008Wine & Spirit Magazine (96)
Domaine Leflaive includes 7.56 acres of Les Pucelles in three blocks, with many vines dating back to the 1950s and '60s. Those vines, saved from botrytis by September's north wind, captured the sunshine at the end of a long, damp season and transformed it into bold, spicy energy in the wine. The mineral flavors seem to reach back to the deep roots of the vines, sustained with the freshness of an orchard of heirloom apples. A fine vintage of Les Pucelles, this will age with grace for a decade or more.Inc. GSTSG$719.30 -

5*s Pale colour with a discreet lemon and lime nose, but a suggestion of concentration. The citrus theme continues on the palate but it is not too dominant. A very pure and classy wine, the lemon notes continue through to the back of the palate. DIAM 'D'Inc. GSTSG$7,004.86 -

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru does not quite convey the same degree of energy as its peers. Flint and green apple notes gradually unfurl; maybe this is just more backward? The palate is definitely backward and yet there is a lot of weight in the mouth. It initially feels a little clammed shut on the finish, but there is a long, spicy aftertaste and impressive precision. This is a surly Pucelles that will require cellaring but there is clearly quality here. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.Inc. GSTSG$1,235.60 -

Much more in white fruit with that electric crystalline thread running through the middle. Perfect balancing acidity. Such finesse in a sunny vintage! Brilliant stuff.Inc. GSTSG$3,109.46 -

The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru conveys the imprimatur of the growing season more than Leflaive's other cuvées, the ripest and perhaps more exotic with candied orange peel, quince and light peppermint scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine acidity, ripe and quite bold in style, though it clams up towards its slightly reductive finish. Give this four to five years in bottle.Inc. GSTSG$7,486.62 -

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles reasserts its traditional role as Leflaive's dominant premier cru this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, clear honey, white flowers and orange oil, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction.

(still in tank): Bright pale yellow. Pure, subtle aromas of peach, lemon, floral oils and spices. Silky, suave and gentle but with excellent density for village wine.

The 2014 Puligny Montrachet Village Cru offers lilting dewy green apple and wet limestone aromas on the nose, underneath subtle scents of orange blossom lending more complexity as it opens in the glass. The palate is crisp and fresh with a twist of bitter lemon on the entry. This is well balanced with good weight, plenty of energy on the tip of the tongue with a pleasant saline finish. It does not quite possess the drive of the premier crus, although there is a pleasant spicy note that pops up on the aftertaste. Tasted December 2016.Inc. GSTSG$647.36
