Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet 2011 is a Grand Cru white Burgundy from one of the most-prized Chardonnay vineyard plots in the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Leflaive Grands Crus can be powerful yet austere when young and often require 10 to 15 years of ageing to show their true colours. Leflaive has been certified biodynamic since 1997. "An ultra-elegant, pure and strikingly expressive nose of airy and intensely spicy acacia blossom, wet stone, lemon peel and various white-fleshed fruit aromas. There is a lilting mouth feel to the gorgeously intense, precise and cuts-like-a-knife medium weight plus flavoors that brim with mineral and an abundance of dry extract that coats the palate on the hugely long finish. The balance is impeccable and this will be one of the relatively few 2011s that should amply reward longer-term cellaring." Burghound, 2013

95 Robert Parker

I hadn't drunk Leflaive's 2011 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru for several years, but this precocious, demonstrative vintage continues to perform very well. Exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, pear, white flowers, freshly baked bread and bee pollen, it's full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a fleshy, enveloping core of fruit, racy acids and a long, saline finish. Impressively, the last glass showed even better 24 hours later. — William Kelley, 10th November 2022

94 Vinous

Bright yellow. Fascinating aromas of pineapple, candied lemon zest and wet stone accented by spearmint, eucalyptus, menthol and fresh herbs. Then obviously leaner than the 2012 but with surprising intensity and building creaminess of texture. Less exotic in the mid-palate than on the nose, with lemon zest, crushed stone and white flowers dominating. This is ultimately more approachable than the 2012--aromatic and expressive, and more harmonious today. Finishes saline, vibrant and very long, with a light touch. An impressive showing for a vintage whose ripeness came more from concentration on the vines during the August heat than from photosynthesis. Incidentally, although the overall crop level was above average for Domaine Leflaive in 2011, some hail in July kept yields more reasonable in Chevalier-Montrachet (and Batard-Montrachet). (13.2% alcohol; 3.02 pH; a very precocious year, just the second August harvest for Domaine Leflaive after 2003--actually the earliest date ever here, on August 25--but followed in quick succession by August starts in 2015, 2017 and 2018) — Stephen Tanzer, 1st September 2019

18 Jancis Robinson

Really pretty, well-integrated nose. Lovely, quite delicate palate attack. Very much a Chevalier. Super-correct and just starting to open out. Everything in the right place. Bone-dry finish with the fruit nicely placed on the way there. (JR) — Jancis Robinson, 5th July 2022

Domaine Leflaive

The pinnacle of Puligny-Montrachet

Founded in the 18th century, Domaine Leflaive has built a storied reputation for its commitment to biodynamic farming and exceptional craftsmanship. The estate owns 22 hectares of vineyards, including 10 hectares of Premiers Crus in Puligny-Montrachet (Les Combettes, Les Pucelles, Le Clavoillon, Les Folatières), as well as no fewer than 5 hectares of Grands Crus (Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, and a tiny holding in Le Montrachet).

Joseph Leflaive, whose vision and dedication in the early 20th century were pivotal, transformed the domaine into a symbol of excellence. In the 1990s, Anne-Claude Leflaive introduced biodynamic practices, adhering to rigorous standards that respect the natural rhythms of the earth, promoting soil health and vine vitality without synthetic chemicals. This holistic approach results in Chardonnay wines celebrated for their purity, depth, and complexity. Each bottle reflects the rich heritage and innovative spirit that have made Domaine Leflaive a revered name among wine enthusiasts.
