2024 Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet

Domaine Leflaive has been a benchmark producer in Puligny-Montrachet since Joseph Leflaive began developing the family estate in 1905, and the property is now recognized as a global leader in biodynamic viticulture. These wines are made from Chardonnay grapes grown in clay-limestone soils, with specific parcels like Les Nosroyes and Les Reuchaux featuring vines planted as early as 1936. In the glass, the wine offers precise notes of orchard fruit, citrus, and a distinct mineral tension that speaks to its terroir. While the 2024 vintage was defined by a challenging, high-rainfall growing season, the resulting wine displays a classic, energetic profile with well-integrated acidity. This bottle is built for the cellar, though its current balance offers a clear look at one of Burgundy’s most respected estates for those who choose to enjoy it now.
