“This is routinely one of the best generic bottlings to be found.” – Wine Advocate
Domaine Leflaive’s Bourgogne Blanc 2021 is sourced from Chardonnay grapes grown in three plots that reside in Puligny-Montrachet; Les Houlieres, La Plante des Champs and Les Parties, all of which have been managed biodynamically since 1997. This is not just your standard Bourgogne Blanc but something with considerably higher detail and expertise.
The wine is generous with aromas of white flowers, citrus blossom and ripe orchard fruits while the underlying notes of flint and mineral hint at the complexity you will find. The harmonious balance of bright acidity and rounded texture with flavours of ripe peach, grapefruit, tangy lemon tart, orange zest, vanilla, chalk and lavender fields are surrounded by a discreet oak frame resulting in a medium-bodied structure with a refined and elegant finish. The delightful and approachable expression makes a versatile companion with a wide range of foods including roast chicken tagine, coq au vin, grilled fish, creamy pastas and soft cheeses. True to the Leflaive style, this Bourgogne Blanc 2021 showcases purity of fruit, precision winemaking and a distinct sense of place and in the words of Wine Advocate “precisely what you want from a Bourgogne Blanc”.
Organic, biodynamic and iconic, Domaine Leflaive is the doyen of Puligny-Montrachet producing “the kind of wine that should be delivered by Grace Kelly” according to the Wall Street Journal. The attention to detail invested in these Chardonnays “set standards for white Burgundy that few other estates can approach” and in the words of Wine Advocate: “If you do not like Leflaive’s wines then you do not like white Burgundy.”
