A rare gem from a legendary estate. From one of Burgundy’s most revered names, this 1er Cru Chardonnay marks a new chapter for Domaine Leflaive in Pouilly-Fuissé. Sourced from the En Vigneraie vineyard and farmed biodynamically, the 2022 vintage is both precise and powerful — with notes of white peach, citrus zest, and crushed stones, wrapped in a fine mineral structure. A beautifully balanced wine that captures the elegance and depth of southern Burgundy, showing the same commitment to terroir and purity that defines Leflaive’s iconic Côte de Beaune bottlings.
Winemaker Description
Origine: Clay-limestone soil, with a very shallow depth of soil. Gentle slope.
Surface area: 0.234 ha. Situated below the Roche de Solutré, facing due south. Very precocious terroir.
Method of culture The vines are cultivated biodynamically.
Wine making Harvesting is entirely manual. After decanting, the musts are transported daily to Puligny-Montrachet for fermentation and ageing, under the watchful eye of Domaine Leflaive's technical team.
Vinification takes place in vats, and ageing lasts from 15 to 16 months.
Pressing: Long, gentle pneumatic pressing, 24-hour decanting, followed by settling and racking.
Fermentations: 100% in oak barrels.
Aging: After 12 months in barrel, the wine is aged for 6 months in vats, where it is prepared for bottling.
