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.

This is the ripest wine to this point with a mildly exotic nose of fresh apricot and mango nuances along with pear, peach and floral scents. There is very fine concentration to the textured and mouth coating middle weight plus flavors that display a subtle minerality on the powerful and solidly long finish. I very much like the silky mouth feel which confers a sense of finesse.
