There are many outstanding producers of white Burgundy.  When it comes to Puligny Montrachet one name is at the pinnacle - Domaine Leflaive.   For many generations of the family and of Burgundy lovers they have been the one you want in your cellar. These are some of the most consistent and long lived white Burgundies from the Bourgogne Blanc, to the Puligny Montrachet, to the premier and grand crus.  These are wines you can cellar for many years with complete confidence.
 
Anne-Claude Leflaive and her right-hand man Pierre Morey were pioneers of biodynamic farming.  After seven years of experiments while the property was two-thirds organic and one third biodynamic, all of the vineyards were converted to biodynamic in 1997. 
 
The farming is immaculate, there are constant improvements of the pruning, composting and cultivation of cover crops.  Most of the vines were planted in the 1950's and 1980's, the vines are mature. The cellar work is slow and measured, the wines rest for at least two winters in their cold cellars, first in barrel, then in stainless steel tanks for the second winter.  There is a maximum of 20% new oak for the premier crus. They are always working to make even greater wines.
