Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Les Folatières', Olivier Leflaive, 2025

Founded in 1984, Olivier Leflaive is a family-owned Burgundian négociant and wine producer based in Puligny-Montrachet. While Olivier Leflaive was born into the renowned Leflaive family, the business is entirely separate from Domaine Leflaive, following its own philosophy and sourcing fruit from a network of trusted growers alongside its own vineyards. This approach allows the winery to craft wines from many of Burgundy's most celebrated appellations while maintaining a consistent house style rooted in precision and balance.

Specialising in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Olivier Leflaive produces an extensive range of wines, from Bourgogne Blanc and Rouge to village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings from the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. White wines are fermented and matured in French oak barrels, with careful use of new oak to preserve freshness and vineyard character. Red wines are vinified with a focus on purity of fruit and silky tannins, using gentle extraction and measured oak ageing. The result is a collection of elegant, terroir-driven wines that reflect the diversity and finesse of Burgundy.

Domaine Leflaive has been certified biodynamic (Demeter) since 1997, having begun the conversion under Anne-Claude Leflaive in the early 1990s. The domaine is one of the most prominent advocates of biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy and farms all of its parcels without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers.
