Domaine Leflaive, Pouilly Fuisse, Burgundy, France, 2024

Overview of the Wine
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 1910-1930, as a result of his successive purchases of vineyards and houses. Domaine Leflaive has been entirely a family domaine since its creation. Brice de La Morandière, great-grandson of the founder, Joseph Leflaive, represents the fourth generation at the head of the domaine. In 2015, after an international corporate career, he succeeded Anne-Claude, pioneer in biodynamics. It is with the same philosophy of respect for the great terroirs, humility toward the forces of nature and relentless pursuit of excellence in viticulture and in winemaking that the domaine will continue to grow in the future.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Long, gentle pneumatic pressing, decanting over 24 hours, then racking and running into fermentation vessels.

Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in stainless steel vats, foudres, concrete tanks and 600L barrels (variable combination).

Aging 10 months on lees in the fermentation vessels, followed by approximately 6 months in stainless steel tanks on fine lees.

Optional fining and light filtration if necessary.

A floral bouquet, offering aromas of white flowers, jasmine, and a subtle touch of oak. A palate that is silky in texture with a chalky finesse and a sense of drive, yet remains delicate throughout.
