Domaine Leflaive is a prestigious and renowned wine producer located in the heart of Burgundy, France. Founded in 1717, this family-owned estate has a long history of producing high-quality and highly sought-after wines from the region. The domaine is currently run by Anne-Claude Leflaive, who is the fifth generation of the Leflaive family to manage the estate.

The domaine is situated in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, a small commune in the Côte de Beaune sub-region of Burgundy. This region is known for its exceptional terroir, which is a combination of soil, climate, and topography that is ideal for growing Chardonnay grapes. The domaine owns 24 hectares of vineyards, 22 of which are dedicated to producing white wines and the remaining 2 to red wines.

Domaine Leflaive is most famous for its white wines, particularly its Grand Cru and Premier Cru Chardonnays. The domaine follows biodynamic principles in its vineyard management, which involves using natural and holistic methods to cultivate the grapes. This approach not only produces wines that are reflective of their terroir, but also ensures the sustainability of the land for future generations.

One of the most iconic wines produced by Domaine Leflaive is the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Combettes". This wine is made from grapes grown in a single vineyard and is known for its complexity, balance, and longevity. It is a perfect representation of the domaine's commitment to producing exceptional wines that showcase the unique characteristics of their terroir.

In addition to their white wines, Domaine Leflaive also produces a small amount of red wine from Pinot Noir grapes. The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Caillerets" is a highly sought-after red wine that exhibits the same level of quality and craftsmanship
