Domaine Leflaive remains the spiritual capital of Puligny-Montrachet, the biodynamic standard-bearer that Anne-Claude Leflaive transformed in the 1990s and that her cousin Brice de la Morandire now stewards. Beginning in 2004, the domaine extended its expertise south into the Mconnais; the first Pouilly-Fuiss vintage came in 2013, with a growing portfolio of named sites since. En Vigneraie is a tiny south-facing parcel sitting in the shadow of the Roche de Solutr, on shallow clay-limestone soils that ripen early and yield a wine of unusual density for the appellation. Fermented and aged entirely in barrel in Puligny, then rested in stainless steel before bottling, it shows the Leflaive signature: focused, transparent Chardonnay with a serious mineral backbone. A Mconnais wine made like a Cte d’Or grand cru.
