2021 Domaine Leflaive
Spring Release from an Icon
Limited Offer - Special Case Pricing
"The small amount of white wine produced in 2021 has the lively, fresh acidity to produce crisp, concentrated wine. It wasn’t an easy year, but a classic one!" - Decanter
The roots of the Leflaive family go back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive took up residence in Puligny-Montrachet, intent upon cultivating several acres of vineyards. The domaine, in its present form, was created by Joseph Leflaive between the years of 1910 and 1930, as a result of his successive purchases of vineyards and houses.
Today, the domaine extends over 24 hectares (59.3 acres) in Puligny-Montrachet, of which 4.8 hectares (11.9 acres) are grands crus and 10.8 hectares (26.7 acres) are premiers crus, all growing one varietal: Chardonnay. Since 2004 the domaine has expanded into the Mâconnais and cultivates some 20 hectares 49.4 acres) in Mâcon-Verzé and Solutré-Pouilly. Diam closures are used for Leflaive's recent vintages which maintains the tradition of natural cork but prevents against cork taint and premature oxidation.
Today we are pleased to present a limited offer of the some of the more affordable bottlings from this iconic domaine, with special case pricing. Please reply to this email with your request in bottles in the form below to pre-order, and we will respond next week with confirmation. Wines are expected to arrive later this month or early June.
