The Estate

Founded in October 1984 by Olivier Leflaive, the eponymous house carries on a family legacy that began in 1717. Located in Puligny-Montrachet, in the heart of Burgundy, the estate is built on a vineyard spanning one hundred hectares, twenty-six of which are owned outright. A pioneer of wine tourism and committed to biodynamic practices for nearly twenty years, the house stands out for its exacting approach to winemaking and trading. Since 2020, Julie Leflaive has led the company, upholding the excellence of its white wines while bringing a modern vision to this institution.

The Vineyard

This wine comes from a rigorous selection of plots located in Meursault, the largest white wine-producing commune in the Côte de Beaune. The estate tends its vines according to sustainable viticulture practices and biodynamic principles, reflecting a deep respect for the land. This approach, certified High Environmental Value level 3, helps enhance biodiversity and highlight the identity of this terroir.
