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 wasnâ€™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 MÃ¢connais and cultivates some 20 hectares 49.4 acres) in MÃ¢con-VerzÃ© and SolutrÃ©-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.

"The 2021 whites are much more successful than those produced in Burgundyâ€™s last vintage defined by frost, 2016. The 2021s are classically proportioned, pure and fine-boned...Like their red counterparts, the 2021 white wines are picking up texture and flesh with maturation on the lees, and they seem likely to show better from bottle than they did from barrel." - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

"2021 It really was an exceptionally difficult growing season, as my opening words below describe. But do not panic, the wines taste much better than the weather conditions might have suggested." - Jasper Morris
