The Diversity of Expressions of the Mâcon Wines
The terroirs of the Mâconnais region are geologically very close to those of Puligny. They are often unfairly underestimated. As a discreet reminder of the family’s presence in the Mâconnais region, these wines are simply marked ''Domaines Leflaive''. Over several stages since 2004, the Domaine now covers more than 25 hectares.
The diversity of expressions provided by the terroirs of the Mâconnais region often justifies parcel cuvées with a unique identity. In the Village Mâcon-Verzé appellation, the teams isolated Les Chênes, a parcel facing due west, and Le Monté, due north but adapted to the new conditions of global warming. Other plot cuvées will complete these first two in the future.
These wines can compete with those of Pouilly-Fuissé, the most prestigious appellation of the Mâconnais region, of which Domaines Leflaive offers three cuvées, two of them are plot-based. One of them “En Vigneraie” is now classified as a premier cru, from the 2020 vintage.

ESPRIT LEFLAIVE
Terroirs de Bourgogne wines in partnership
This collection of distinctive wines was launched with the 2018 vintage. Born at the crossroads of Burgundy’s exceptional terroirs and a savoir-faire centered on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Esprit Leflaive embodies the Leflaive spirit venturing beyond the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, reaching into Chablis and the Côte de Nuits to explore every horizon of Burgundy.
Produced through partnerships with carefully selected winegrowers—who tend often very old vines harvested by the domaine’s own teams—these wines are made in limited quantities, ranging from as few as 300 to a maximum of 5,000 bottles. They bring diversity and a new dimension to the Leflaive family of wines.
