Domaines Leflaive – rather than Domaine
Leflaive – is a label launched when the domaine moved outside its natural home
in Puligny-Montrachet and went south, purchasing vineyards in the commune of
Verzé in the Mâconnais. They immediately converted them to biodynamism in keeping
with the philosophy of winemaking established at Domaine Leflaive since the 90s
by Anne-Claude Leflaive.
Limey, austere, with the characteristic wet
stoniness of Chablis, and a touch of white pepper on the finish. The oak has
been handled very lightly and the texture is very much citric rather than
creamy. Screams for oysters. After being open for a couple of hours, it is struggling
towards a lemon meringue character.
