Esprit Leflaive Description
A wine with a very nice volume on the palate and straight. The aging process in large volume barrels and in concrete egg gives it this unique character, without erasing the minerality and iodine notes so typical of the Chablis region.
At the crossroad of fabulous terroirs from Burgundy, with an expertise in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Esprit Leflaive ventures beyond the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, to Chablis and the Côte de Nuits, to explore the wider Burgundy. When Pierre Vincent started at Domaine Leflaive with the 2017 vintage, he quickly realized, while working with some of the best Chardonnay vineyards in the world, his months of September and October felt like they were missing something. After a discussion with Brice de La Morandière, they agreed to develop a small selection of wines beginning with the 2018 vintage. Esprit Leflaive was born. Using their contacts throughout Bourgogne, Pierre and Brice handpicked a few vineyards where they took over the management of vineyard activities all the way to bottling. This haute-couture selection is certified organic and produced in small quantities.
