Domaines Leflaive Description
WINERY: Domaines Leflaive represents an extension of Domaine Leflaive in the Mâcaonnais region to explore the family’s extensive vineyard holdings which are either owned or leased long term through the family’s close knit relationships in the region. The vineyards are all certified Organic and Biodynamic, and the family directly handles all work in the vineyards, harvest, as well as the wines vinification in the Domains cellar in Puligny-Montrachet.
WINE: This is the flagship appellation of the Mâconnais area, distinguished for many years as the source of top, mineral-driven wines from the Roche de Solutré (Rock of Solutré). This “basic” bottling is anything but that – from an area just over 2 hectares, this far over-delivers with mineral complexity.
Tasting Notes
“There’s fine concentration to this white, lending viscosity to the texture and embracing flavors of peach, white flowers and honeydew melon. Light baking spice and pastry notes linger on the finish.”
— Bruce Sanderson
