“This is routinely one of the best generic bottlings to be found.” – Wine Advocate.
Organic, biodynamic and iconic, Domaine Leflaive is the doyen of Puligny-Montrachet producing “the kind of wine that should be delivered by Grace Kelly” according to the Wall Street Journal. The attention to detail invested in these Chardonnays “set standards for white Burgundy that few other estates can approach”, and in the words of Wine Advocate: “If you do not like Leflaive’s wines, then you do not like white Burgundy.”
Domaine Leflaive’s Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from old vines in “Les Houlières” and younger vines in “Les Parties”, both of which reside in Puligny-Montrachet. Wine Advocate has previously described it as: “precisely what you want from a Bourgogne Blanc.” But it’s so much more than just a humble Bourgogne Blanc, this has a discreet oak frame surrounding a masterpiece of ripe peach, crunchy apple, refreshing grapefruit, tangy lemon tart, orange zest, vanilla, chalk, gentle spice and distant lavender fields. Partner with roast chicken, tagine, coq au vin, grilled fish, creamy sauces or risotto.
