Esprit Leflaive Pouilly-Fuisse

Wine Notes

This collection of singular wines was born with the 2018 vintage. At the crossroads of the fabulous terroirs of Burgundy and a know-how between chardonnay and pinot noir. It is the Leflaive spirit that ventures beyond the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, towards Chablis and the Côte de Nuits, to explore all the horizons of Burgundy.

Fruit of partnerships with selected winegrowers, who often work very old vines harvested by the estate’s teams, these wines are produced in modest quantities. From 300 up to 5,000 bottles at most. They bring diversity to the Leflaive wine family.

The Esprit Leflaive collection, which includes eight cuvées for its launch on the 2018 vintage, also explores Pinot Noir. Pierre Vincent, the general manager of the estate since 2017, has recognized know-how in the vinification of the grape variety. The terroirs have been precisely identified: the Corton Les Grandes Lolières exposes its 65-year-old vines due east on clay-limestone soils halfway up the hillside. A Premier Cru Pommard Les Arvelets and a Nuits Saint-Georges Village complete this offer of red wines signed Leflaive.
