Olivier Leflaive Frères
Olivier and Patrick Leflaive had long had the ambition to grow their estate, so the opportunity to reclaim the family heritage of Domaine Leflaive presented itself as the natural evolution of their great adventure. Olivier Leflaive had run the estate with his uncle Vincent and then with his cousin Anne-Claude from 1982 to 1994, so it was important for him to share his vision of these prestigious appellations.

The vineyards of Domaine Olivier Leflaive Frères are located on terroirs whose reputation is well established: between Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Les Folatières and Les Pucelles in Puligny-Montrachet and Blagny Sous le Dos d'Ane in Meursault, all great names synonymous and evocative of great moments. Ancestral possessions of Domaine Leflaive, the vines have been cultivated according to biodynamic principles for almost 20 years without interruption. This philosophy has been respected and applied ever since.

Olivier Leflaive 's philosophy is to produce great wines, simply. To achieve this, there's no secret: it all starts in the vineyard with beautiful grapes. Olivier, Franck and their team are fortunate to have friendly relations with the best winegrowers on the coast, "figures" who meticulously tend their vines. While the quality of the harvest is essential, vinification and ageing also play their part in revealing the essence of each appellation. Every day, Franck Grux and Philippe Grillet ensure that the wines express themselves to the full, respecting the terroir. To this end, each cuvée benefits from an individualized approach in the spirit of the "Domaine".

2*Coup de Coeur Hachette

Note du Guide Hachette des Vins : 2**(Vin remarquable) + Coup de Coeur
"Olivier Leflaive and Franck Grux, the cellar master, play on an ideal palette where their intuition and know-how give birth to remarkable cuvées, like this 1er cru made from three mechanically harvested plots vinified for three months before bottling. First, you'll appreciate the brilliant green-gold color and intense scents of citrus fruit, white flowers and toasted almonds. The flesh is perfectly balanced between fatness and liveliness. The long, lemony finish makes this Montagny ideal for a seafood dish, such as a fish terrine, now or in three years' time". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
