Domaine Leflaive Meursault Sous le Dos d'Ane 2019

Domaine Leflaive is one of Burgundy’s most important white-wine estates and the embodiment of great Chardonnay craftsmanship. Based in Puligny-Montrachet, the domaine owns outstanding sites such as Chevalier-, Bâtard- and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet as well as numerous Premier Crus. The limestone-rich, finely structured soils give the wines their famous tension, depth and elegance. Since the early 2000s, the estate has worked consistently biodynamically – an approach that has further enhanced purity, expression and longevity.

The domaine’s style: crystalline precision, fine salinity, structured finesse and an unmistakably energetic profile. Leflaive wines are among the longest-lived and most sought-after Chardonnays in the world and continue to set benchmarks for terroir-driven white wines.

The Burgundy (Bourgogne) wine region is shaped by small parcels and historic vineyards. The focus here is on two grape varieties – Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – which reflect soil, climate and craftsmanship with exceptional transparency.

Between Dijon and Mâcon, a narrow band of vineyards stretches for around 250 km, each with its own distinctive character.
