Shipping informations

Discover the elegance and power of Olivier Leflaive Pommard 1er Cru Chaponnières Red, a wine from Burgundy's finest terroirs, combining intense black fruit aromas with a silky texture.

The term ‘Chaponnières’ is quite old and would have designated, between the tenth and twelfth centuries, plots of land planted with new vines in Pommard.

The sommelier info

This Pommard 1er Cru Chaponnières reveals intense aromas of black fruit, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, enhanced by hints of morello cherry. On the palate, it is distinguished by a generous texture, underpinned by a strong tannic structure and fine persistence.

It is matured for 16 months, including 4 months in blending vats, entirely in oak barrels, 30% of which are new.

This vintage, considered to be an exceptional year, combines generous yields with remarkable quality, and this red wine by Olivier Leflaive is a perfect example!

This wine is served with

The domain

Today, Olivier Leflaive owns 17 hectares of prestigious appellations such as Puligny Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, which he has acquired judiciously over the years. Leflaive is undoubtedly one of the finest houses in Burgundy.

OLIVIER LEFLAIVE BURGUNDY, A LEGACY PASSED DOWN FROM FATHER TO SON

Olivier's grandfather, Joseph Leflaive, was responsible for expanding the Leflaive business, a 35-hectare family estate. In 1953, his son Joseph Régis and his brother Vincent took over the vineyards. Later, Olivier Leflaive took over the reins, and in 1985, he and his brother founded the Olivier Leflaive Frères winery. Meanwhile, his cousin Anne-Claude Leflaive was in charge of the Leflaive estate. On 1 April 2010, Olivier decided to retire, despite his deep attachment to the family business.

PHILOSOPHY AND TERROIR OF THE OLIVIER LEFLAIVE HOUSE

Olivier Leflaive owns vineyards producing mainly white wines from the three prestigious villages of the Côte de Beaune: Puligny Montrachet, Chassagne Montrachet and Meursault, as well as Chablis and the Côte Chalonnaise. The main goal is above all to produce great Olivier Leflaive wine: for him, this starts with growing beautiful grapes. Olivier Leflaive also aims to revitalise and humanise the world of wine. The vineyards have been cultivated according to biodynamic criteria for around 20 years, but Leflaive does not hold organic certification.
