Esprit Leflaive
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
While not an estate holding of the domaine, what an exciting proposition it is to think of the spirit of Leflaive and its uniquely talented winemaker (who has experience in this particular Grand Cru) being given the chance to offer an expression of one of the pillars of white wine, the Corton-Charlemagne. Extremely small quantities (only one barrel) were produced from this pedigreed terroir, with the farming and harvesting done by the experienced team at Domaine Leflaive. Not to be missed!
