]]> Domaine Leflaive is one of the most prestigious wine estates in the Burgundy region of France. It is located in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. The history of the estate dates back to the 18th century, when Claude Leflaive, a wine merchant turned landowner, acquired vineyards in the area. Over the generations, the Leflaive family devoted themselves to viticulture and the production of high quality wines. It was at the beginning of the 20th century that Joseph Leflaive, son of Claude, undertook major work to improve the quality of the estate's wines. In particular, he introduced the use of organic farming methods, which were avant-garde at the time, and developed a reputation for his exceptional white wines made from the Chardonnay grape.

In the 1980s, Anne-Claude Leflaive, Joseph's granddaughter, took over the reins of the estate. She continued the family's commitment to biodynamic viticulture, an approach that integrates the principles of organic farming with a more holistic view of the vine and its environment. Through her leadership, Domaine Leflaive became one of the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy.

Under Anne-Claude's leadership, the estate experienced a spectacular rise and its wines were recognised internationally for their exceptional quality. The estate's vineyards cover about 25 hectares, mainly in Puligny-Montrachet, with parcels in prestigious appellations such as Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Since Anne-Claude's death in 2015, the estate has been run by her cousin, Brice de La Morandière, and her sister, Édouard Parinet, who continue to carry on the Domaine Leflaive tradition of excellence by producing white wines of great finesse, aromatic purity and exceptional depth. Today, Domaine Leflaive is considered one of the world's finest white wine producers, and its bottles are highly sought after by wine lovers and collectors.

Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2007 is a wine of great elegance and finesse. It is currently at its peak, offering a perfect combination of ripe fruit and the typical characteristics of great white Burgundy wines.

]]> Domaine Leroy is one of the most prestigious and influential wineries in Burgundy, France. It was founded by Lalou Bize-Leroy, a visionary woman with a passion for wine, in 1988. However, the history of the estate goes back much further. The Leroy family originates from Burgundy and has a long tradition of winemaking. Henri Leroy, Lalou Bize-Leroy's father, was a renowned wine merchant and owner of Maison Leroy, a wine trading company founded in 1868. Lalou Bize-Leroy inherited his father's passion for wine and decided to create his own estate to focus on producing high quality wines. Domaine Leroy owns vineyards in some of the most prestigious appellations in Burgundy, including Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, Meursault and Chambolle-Musigny. The estate's vines are cultivated biodynamically, an approach that favours respect for the natural balance of the vine and the terroir.

Lalou Bize-Leroy is renowned for her rigorous and demanding approach to viticulture. She voluntarily limits the yields of her vines to favour a better concentration and expression of the aromas in the grapes. The grapes are harvested by hand, and a careful selection is made to retain only the highest quality grapes. Domaine Leroy wines are considered to be among the best in Burgundy, if not the world. They are often praised for their purity, elegance and ability to reflect the terroir from which they are made. The estate's vintages are produced in limited quantities, making them highly sought after by wine lovers and collectors.

Lalou Bize-Leroy is an iconic figure in Burgundy and a pioneer in the production of high quality biodynamic wines. Her commitment to quality and expression of terroir has helped make Domaine Leroy one of the most respected and admired estates in the region.

]]> It is in Burgundy that the Rousseau family has been working for 4 generations with the same passion and the most beautiful terroirs of the Côte de Nuits...

Eric runs the Domaine with the help of his daughter Cyrielle. Over the years, the Domaine has grown and now works a surface area of 15 hectares 33, including 3 hectares of Appellation Village, 3 hectares 77 of Appellation Premier Cru and 8 hectares 51 of Appellation Grand Cru, located on the territories of Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis. Since its creation, it is a ritual that is naturally established in the family of winegrowers: the previous generation teaches the next one so that it perpetuates a close link between Man and the vine as well as the work well done. This passion for the vine is reborn again and again in the Rousseau family... This deep respect for the terroir is rooted in the family.

]]> Pierre and Henri Lafon's interest in their father's estate was modest. After Pierre's untimely death in 1944, Henri clearly undertook to sell the estate. René Lafon, Pierre's son, although working and living in Paris at the time, opposed this move. During this uncertain period for the future of the estate, the vineyard was mainly run on a sharecropping basis. After his decisive intervention to avoid the dismemberment of the vines, René Lafon took over the estate in 1956. In collaboration with the sharecroppers, he undertook the restoration of the vines and carried out major replanting. Gradually, more and more of the harvest was bottled, until all of it was bottled in 1961. His interest in vines and wine led him to leave Paris in 1967 and settle permanently in Meursault, in the Victorian building that he still occupies today with his wife. Dominique Lafon took over from his father in 1984, initially with his brother Bruno. From 1987 onwards, he began to gradually break the sharecropping contracts (9-year leases). He is a winegrower of principles, fundamentally attached to the land, to quality and respect for the soil, but also to the traditions inherited from his ancestors. He wanted to go organic very early on, quickly giving up weed killers and choosing to return to working the soil, which is essential for the expression of the terroirs. Dominique Lafon is even one of the forerunners of biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy, since he chose to make his first trials in 1995 before converting all of his 16 hectares to biodynamic viticulture in 1998.
