Leflaive
SUMMARY
Dating back as far as 1717, Domaine Leflaive is unquestionably the most famous estate in Puligny-Montrachet and arguably the most sought after white wine maker in all of France combining exceptional wine making techniques with painfully small yields.Leflaive has 22 hectares of vineyards, including 10 hectares of Premiers Crus and no fewer than five hectares of Grands Crus with arguably their most important wine being the Montrachet Grand Cru which can fetch as much as £15,000 per bottle depending on vintage.
The Domaine was founded by Joseph Leflaive, a former engineer. In 1905, he purchased vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet which had been ravaged by phylloxera, and set about replanting and expanding them. Upon his death in 1953, his sons Vincent and Jo took over the running of the estate, and are widely credited with building up the reputation that Leflaive enjoys today.
