An exquisite yet sophisticated wine that expresses itself through aromas of white flowers and fruits mixed with notes of roasted hazelnut.

The Leflaive family has been rooted in Puligny Montrachet since 1717. In the 20th century, Joseph Leflaive (1870-1953), a descendant of the founder, Claude Leflaive, gradually acquired parcels of exceptional 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyards, mainly in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, and was one of the forerunners of bottling on the domaine (mis en bouteille au domaine); Domaine Leflaive began exporting to the United States in the early 1930s. Entrepreneurial and creative, in 1985 Olivier started his own business, focusing solely on quality, buying grapes and managing vineyards, with a team led by Olivier Leflaive himself. In 1995, Olivier Leflaive, in agreement with his family, left Domaine Leflaive to concentrate on Maison Olivier Leflaive. Today, Maison Olivier Leflaive controls almost 30 hectares of vineyards located mainly in Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Meursault and Pommard. Since 2010, Maison Olivier Leflaive has regained ownership of legendary vineyards managed by Domaine Leflaive following the expiration of an 18-year lease to the Domaine.
