Interesting Facts
Wines from Domaine Leflaive - some of the best white wines of Burgundy and Bourgogne Blanc is no exception. Created from Chardonnay grapes, the wine reveals a beautiful clean fruity notes, fresh citrus and light shades of spice underlying. Taste - a complex, full-bodied, with good acidity, but it requires a little time to fully open. The full wine can demonstrate their rich inner potential after 3-5 years of aging.
Excellent quality wine Bourgogne Blanc is directly related to the quality of grapes grown. To get rich and healthy crop, two vineyard Les Houlieres and Les Parties, with a total area of about 3.2 hectares, since 1990 have gone over to biodynamic cultivation method. Following this method, Domaine Leflaive abandoned the use of any chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The first place went fertilizatory natural and organic compost to fertilize and enrich the soil without disturbing its natural balance. In my practice, winemakers follow the lunar calendar and allow the stars to in harmony with nature and the cosmos to properly use the life force of the earth.
Harvesting is carried out manually. Obtained by soft pressing, the juice is subjected to a long aeration, saturated with oxygen during the day. It was then poured into oak barrels 12% of which - a new, where the fermentation process takes place. Aged in barrels for at least 12 months, and then the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks 6 more months.
Domaine Leflaive its origins back to the far 1717, when a small region of Puligny-Montrachet based its economy Claude Leflaive. Inherited the company Joseph Leflaive (1870-1953), but initially he made a career engineer shipbuilder. After the epidemic of Phytophthora, Joseph at a very low price bought the nearby vineyards, with a total area of about 25 ha, and already in 1920 began to produce wine under its own brand. After his death in 1953, the sons Vincent and Joe and daughter Anne-Claude continued his father's work, producing world-class wines.
Producer's description
The founder of the Domaine Leflaive winery is Claude Leflaive, who in 1717 acquired vineyards in the small area of Puligny-Montrachet. By inheritance, the family estate passed to Joseph Leflev (1870-1953), who, being an engineer by training, took part in the creation of the first French submarine. But, without achieving much success in this area, in 1905 Joseph returned to his hometown, took over his father’s farm and bought 25 hectares of vineyards in the area at a very low price, since most of them were affected by the phylloxera epidemic. Few people believed in the success of the business, but Joseph Leflev knew that the vineyards were of great value, so he did everything to develop them. He achieved results, and since 1920 Domaine Leflaive began producing wines under its own brand. Over time, they gained a reputation as the best wines of Burgundy, winning the hearts of connoisseurs with their excellent quality and unsurpassed taste.
Having inherited the winery after Joseph's death, four of his five children agreed on the need to preserve the great name and winemaking traditions of Domaine Leflaive. Since 1990, Joseph's daughter Anne-Claude took responsibility for the management and development of his farm. She looks at things philosophically and is not afraid to experiment, which is why, since 1990, only biodynamic growing methods have been used in all vineyards. The farm completely abandoned the use of herbicides and pesticides, and instead began to use natural fertilizers and compost. This made it possible to saturate the soil with nutrients, improve the health of the vines and obtain an excellent natural product. As Anne-Claude herself says, her wines have incredible intensity, full of vitality and energy. The daughter of the legendary Joseph Leflève was not afraid to make revolutionary changes, and she herself became a legend.
