Today the helm is transferred to the 4th generation with Brice de La Morandière’s, Anne Claude’s nephew and great-grandson of Joseph Leflaive the founder. We will continue with the same family philosophy of respect for the great ”terroirs”, humility towards the forces of nature and rigorous in its relentless pursuit of excellence in wine making.

Starting in 2015, under the energic impetus of Brice, a number of important developments have been undertaken. All historical buildings have been brought up to date, sometimes requiring rebuilding and extending, with the ultimate goal of having almost no impact on the environment. Their design, building materials and structure enable an optimal thermal insulation which reduces to the absolute minimum the need for outside energy. Significant work has also been undertaken to make the winemaking more precise, including the selection of a new type of cork enabling an increased longevity in the wines. The estate has also expanded with nearly 3 hectares replanted in Puligny, 7 hectares acquired in the Mâconnais and with the creation of a new vineyard planned for 2020 in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune.

Originally from Saône et Loire, in southern Burgundy, Pierre Vincent is the son of Charolais cattle breeders. From a very young age, he has always been attracted by professions related to life, nature and science. His passion for wine was born when he perceived the magic of the winemaker’s profession and the alchemy that exists between the work in the vineyard and what is found in the bottle.

In 2000 he trained as an oenologist. Later, he was technical director of the Domaine de la Vougeraie from 2006 to 2016, then general manager of the Domaine Leflaive from 2017 to today.

In 2010 and 2014, Pierre Vincent won the title of Best Red Wine Winemaker at the International Wine Challenge in London, one of the most prestigious competitions in the world.
