Simply put, Leflaive is making utterly brilliant white Burgundies.
This is one of the storied domaines of Burgundy. Even when you keep that in mind, the wines they are producing are mind-blowing. They have show-stopping elegance, real impact and complexity, and serious cut and structure.

A couple weeks ago, we offered the 2023 Leflaive Puligny AC. Today, I'm happy to move up the hierarchy to the 1er Cru Clavoillon.
Out of Leflaive's extraordinary lineup, it's the Clavoillon that I keep the closest tabs on. Catch Clavoillon in the right vintage, and you'll be wowed by its harmony and its mineral delicacy.
The 2023 is all about finely calibrated balance and luminous transparency. There is a stunning brilliance in its delivery of minerality and citrus flavors.
Few things make me happier than witnessing Leflaive firing on all cylinders. There's no doubt that the 2023 is an example of Lefalive in top form.
