We are thrilled to be again offering these rare treasures from Patrick and Olivier Leflaive’s ‘Récolte du Domaine’. This is their 12th vintage from vineyards they own, which were previously part of the family’s Domaine Leflaive. Franck Grux is approaching retirement, so this vintage – his 41st, as a wine-maker – is a transition year, with his chosen successor Solène Panigai having worked alongside him.

These vineyards are all either bio-dynamically or organically cultivated. With the exception of the Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet, which were more recently replanted, the vines all date from the 1950s and 1960s. Old vines naturally give low yields, and these wines are some of the most concentrated, intense and thrillingly harmonious of all white Burgundies. There is a particular grace, depth of flavour, silky texture and astonishing length in this range that lift them to the highest quality levels we know.
