Esprit Leflaive
Pouilly-Fuissé
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.
Assembly of two plots in the town of Chaintré, in the southern part of the appellation. Lower in altitude than the Domaines Leflaive Pouilly-Fuissé, the wines tend to be rounder than their counterpart.

"This is lean, with bracing acidity driving its apple, lemon cake and baking spice flavors. Tips to the tart side in the balance, yet there’s plenty of intensity from start to finish. Drink now through 2030. 25 cases made, 5 cases imported."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
