Domaine Leflaive Auxey-Duresses offers a lovely nose, both lemony and rich, with a touch of fresh almond and a palate which offers medium concentration, fuller than the lighter Puligny style, a light richness and good length. Beautifully balanced and from a region that is gaining quite a following.

The vision of Anne-Claude Leflaive in the 1990s took this Puligny Montrachet Domaine to the heights of white wine production, not only in Burgundy but in the rest of the world. Today, her nephew Brice de La Morandière – who has had a successful career running multinational companies – continues her philosophy of organic, biodynamic viticulture, bringing Chardonnay grapes to their best possible expression in Grand Cru and Premier Cru climates, where the terroir has been restored to health by natural practices.
