 In 1984 Olivier and Patrick Leflaive left the family business, Domaine Leflaive, to establish the negociant house that bears their name. At the same time, they agreed with their family at Domaine Leflaive that the vineyards they owned would remain under contract with the Domaine. This contract came to term in 2010 and the vineyards have now come back under the control of Olivier and Patrick Leflaive and their company, Olivier Leflaive Frères. It is a spectacular holding including parcels of Bâtard Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, Puligny Montrachet Pucelles and Meursault Blagny. These holdings join the properties in Chassagne Montrachet, Abbaye de Morgeot and Clos St Marc, that have always been managed by Olivier Leflaive Frères and bring the new Domaine Olivier Leflaive to a total of close to 17 hectares, most Premier and Grand Cru. The new parcels are referred to as Recolte du Domaine and are all farmed biodynamically (as they were under the management of Domaine Leflaive). The first vintage for these new wines is 2010.

With a beautiful golden-green color, this wine with a rich fragrance has expressive aromas. The palate is of a powerful structure, with a spectacular concentration of fruit and a magnificent length. Finesse, complexity and elegance.
Ideal with sophisticated dishes and complex texture: foie gras, caviar, lobster, firm white fish like monkfish, hens and chickens in morel sauce.
Recommended date of consumption: between 2023 and 2028

A Bâtard that does not win you over with its muscle and strength, but charms you with its solid center palate and beautiful, precise fruit for the vintage. Full-bodied, reserved and focused. Give it two or three years to open. But a beauty. 23 January 2019
