Domaine Leflaive is Puligny’s flagship domaine. The revered winery sits between Meursault to the north and Chassagne to the south, in the heart of Burgundy’s “gold coast,” home to the world’s most renowned (and expensive) Chardonnays.
If DRC makes the best Red Burgundy in the world, then Domaine Leflaive makes the best White Burgundy in the world, it’s that simple. Every year, collecting a few bottles of anything they make is a daunting but incredibly rewarding task. The back-to-back vintages of 2020 and 2021 promise to bring those who are patient something special and no body makes age-worthy whites quite like this iconic producer.
The Mâcon-Verzé is a stunner. A seamless blend of nine different vineyards from around the domaine, it’s made in a combination of steel, cement and oak giving it a wide variety of flavor profiles. Of course, it’s got incredible length and precision and at the price today, is as good a bargain as exists at Domaine Leflaive.
Each Sampler pack comes with 3 bottles each of the following:
2020 Domaine Leflaive Macon Verze
2021 Domaine Leflaive Macon Verze

Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
