Made with the estate’s biodynamic approach, it brings the finesse associated with Leflaive to a less obvious, yet rewarding, corner of Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright golden in the glass, it opens with citrus and white flowers, followed by notes of nuts and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is lively, with fresh acidity, ripe stone fruit and a gently creamy texture, leading to a long, mineral finish.\n\nEnjoy it young for its freshness, or cellar it for around five to eight years to allow further development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chardonnay comes from Auxey-Duresses, near Meursault, where the wines share some of the neighbouring appellation’s character while retaining their own identity. Grapes are hand-harvested and produced according to Domaine Leflaive’s biodynamic principles. Natural fermentation and restrained intervention aim to preserve the fruit and sense of place, while ageing in French oak—including a balanced proportion of new barrels—adds complexity without overwhelming the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePair it with shellfish, simply prepared fish or lighter poultry dishes. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. A brief rest in the glass should be enough to let the aromas unfold; decanting is optional, though a short decant can help if opening the bottle young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Leflaive is a leading Burgundy estate celebrated for its Chardonnay and its commitment to biodynamic viticulture.
