The Wine

The 2018 Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc is a superb introduction to the estate’s signature style — precise, elegant, and deeply expressive of Burgundy’s limestone terroir. From parcels near Puligny-Montrachet, this wine delivers remarkable finesse and purity for its level, a testament to Domaine Leflaive’s viticulture and meticulous cellar work. The warm 2018 vintage brings a touch of generosity to the estate’s characteristic tension and minerality.

Palate: Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with lively acidity and a creamy texture supporting flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest, and subtle spice.

Finish: Long and precise, with mineral-driven freshness and delicate saline notes.
