Esprit Leflaive
Clos de Vougeot
A selection of unique wines, Esprit Leflaive was born in the 2018 vintage. At the crossroads of fabulous terroirs from Burgundy and an expertise in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Esprit Leflaive ventures beyond the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais, to Chablis and the Côte de Nuits, to explore the wider Burgundy.

The mid-slope elevation and soil produces a richer, denser style with pronounced black fruit character, earthy complexity, and subtle floral notes.
