Leflaive & Associés Rully 1er CruV

Wine Notes

Domaine Leflaive has been developing for many years long-term partnerships with some vinegrowers that share their passion for the requirement of meticulous work in the vineyard without contribution other than natural supplements. These wines are issued from the Côte de Beaune and notably Auxey-Duresses and Puligny-Montrachet and the Côte Chalonnaise (Rully 1er cru). They are vinified by the Domaine Leflaive’s team, in separate cellars in Puligny-Montrachet. In order to distinguish them from the historical part of the domaine, they are given their own identity under the name “Leflaive & Associés”.

This has a struck match minerality on the nose, leading into a joyously ripe palate of white peach, apricot and tangerine zest. Lots of grippy dry extract on the finish. A demonstrative wine, bright and charming, with sweet, cedary spice from the 20% new oak.
