Description
The La Chaneau vineyard is 0.2760 hectares and is located in Pouilly Fuissé. The vines are planted on clay-limestone soil on an exponentially steep slope at the foot of Le Roche de Solturé. The vines were planted between 1980 and 1995 and have an ideal eastern location. The wine is harvested by hand, sorted and pressed in Mâcon, decanted overnight and then returned to Puligny for both fermentation and maturation at the Domaine. The fermentation takes place 100% in oak barrels. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak (20% new) and then for 6 months in stainless steel barrels before bottling.

Notes of pear, hazelnut, citrus oil and white flowers preface the 2017 Pouilly-Fuissé La Chaneau, a medium to full-bodied, dense and tensile wine that has a blocky, tight-knit core and tangy acids and seems to be well-adapted for aging.
While the inauguration of Domaine Leflaive's Mâconnais venture back in 2004 made headlines, the wines that emerged were creditable but not especially ambitious. Under Brice de La Morandière and Pierre Vincent's direction, that seems set to change. With the 2017 vintage, Leflaive will offer two lieux-dits bottlings from Mâcon-Verzé in addition to their generic cuvée, and instead of fermenting and maturing the wines purely in concrete and steel, used wood is now part of the program too. In Pouilly-Fuissé there are also two new and promising lieux-dits bottlings, both vinified in the same fashion as the domaine's Puligny wines. The result is a portfolio that comprehends significant stylistic diversity, and which suggests that Leflaive's venture in southern Burgundy might be bearing fruit worthy of the estate's reputation. What's more, though this decision to take the Mâconnais seriously is encouraging in its own right, it also reveals a more robust confidence in the domaine's emblematic cuvées from Puligny-Montrachet.

Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet is a name that rings a bell. Chardonnay, tradition and progress come together beautifully here.
History of Domaine Leflaive
The story of Domaine Leflaive begins in the 18th century but truly takes shape in the twentieth. Joseph Leflaive, a former marine engineer, took over the family estate in 1905. After the phylloxera crisis he bought additional plots, replanted the vineyards, and started bottling under his own label. That laid the foundation for the estate as we know it today.
After his death in 1953, his sons Vincent and Jo took the lead. They strengthened the name both in Burgundy and abroad. In the 1990s Anne-Claude Leflaive stepped in. She made a bold move by converting the estate entirely to biodynamic farming. Since 2015, Brice de la Morandière, Anne-Claude’s nephew, has been in charge. He combines respect for tradition with innovations such as the sustainable cellar built in 2012.
Location in Puligny-Montrachet
Domaine Leflaive is located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, a small village in the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. This region is known worldwide as the birthplace of Chardonnay. The limestone-rich soil and perfect exposure create wines with tension, freshness, and depth. Here everything revolves around terroir: small differences in slope or soil type give wines with their own unique character.
Grape varieties at Domaine Leflaive
The focus is entirely on Chardonnay. No red wine is made. That may sound limited, but this dedication is exactly what made the estate great. From a simple Bourgogne Blanc to the most legendary Grand Crus: all come from the same grape, yet from different parcels. This way you taste the pure differences between soil and location.
Specialities and famous vineyards
Domaine Leflaive owns parcels in some of the most prestigious vineyards in the world. Think Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. In addition, there are impressive Premier Crus such as Les Pucelles, Clavoillon, and Les Folatières. They also make a distinctive Meursault and an approachable Bourgogne Blanc. The latter comes from vineyards just outside Puligny and shows that even the entry-level wines at Leflaive carry plenty of character.
Biodynamic viticulture and cellar techniques
Since 1997 Domaine Leflaive has worked fully biodynamically. That means using natural preparations and following the rhythms of nature. No artificial chemicals, but full attention to the health of the soil. In the cellar the approach is patient: slow pressing, fermentations with minimal intervention, one year of ageing in oak barrels followed by six months in neutral vats. Since 2012 this has taken place in a remarkable cellar known as the ‘Egg Cellar’. This round building, insulated with straw and wood, is energy-efficient and designed to let the wines mature perfectly.
Interesting facts about Domaine Leflaive
- Before becoming a winegrower, Joseph Leflaive helped build the first French submarine.
- The estate’s Grand Cru Montrachet is only released after ten years of ageing in the cellar, so it can show its full complexity.
- Anne-Claude Leflaive received international acclaim as a pioneer in biodynamics and was awarded several prizes for her contribution.
