Description

Domaine Leflaive crafts its Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru from three parcels, covering a total of 1.8 hectares. These parcels were originally planted between 1955 and 1980. The vineyard team meticulously hand-harvests and sorts all the grapes. The fermentation takes place primarily in used oak casks, followed by a 12-month maturation period. Despite a cooler-than-average growing season, France experienced a remarkable year, producing legendary wines in Bordeaux, Sauternes, and the Rhône Valley, as well as exceptional wines in Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Loire Valley, and Alsace.
