Meursault Sous Dos d'Ane 1er Cru, Domaine Leflaive, 2014
There are few territories blessed with so much history and such geography. Since the Middle Ages, Burgundy has cultivated wine like no other region. The know-how of the monks has passed through the centuries, evangelizing each village of a vineyard that has always remained on a human scale. Today, it covers less than 30,000 ha, barely 4% of French vineyards.
At the crossroads of multiple climatic influences, which make their temperament, the wines of Burgundy have acquired a unique reputation: simply the best chardonnays and pinots noirs in the world. They come from a specific place, a parcel of vines often of modest size: these famous climates form the basis of the Burgundian model.
The diversity of Burgundy wines is also found in its 84 appellations, from the Grands Crus at the top of the pyramid to the regional AOCs, passing through the Premiers Crus and the Villages. More than a classification or a nomenclature, these are names that populate the imagination of amateurs: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Corton, Meursault... Or even, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet where the Leflaive family is established since 1717.
