Olivier Leflaive

Maison Olivier Leflaive is located in Puligny-Montrachet, one of the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. This maison is not just a winery, but a reference point for anyone seeking the expressive purity of Chardonnay and the finesse of Pinot Noir. The history of the Leflaive family in Burgundy dates back to the 18th century, but it was in 1984 that Olivier decided to pursue his own path. After co-managing the legendary Domaine Leflaive together with his uncle Vincent and his cousin Anne-Claude, a pioneer of biodynamics, Olivier chose to establish his own activity as a négociant-éleveur. Unlike traditional merchants who purchase already finished wine, Olivier revolutionised the system by buying the grapes while still on the vine. This allows him to send his own teams to harvest and to control every stage, from the vineyard to the bottle, ensuring a style that has become his trademark: precision, balance and absolute fidelity to the terroir. The strength of Olivier Leflaive lies in his extraordinary knowledge of the Côte d'Or. The company manages around 120 hectares of vineyards (17 of which are owned), spanning names that make every wine lover dream: Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and the legendary Grand Crus such as Bâtard-Montrachet.
