Olivier Leflaive is one of Burgundy’s most respected names, synonymous with wines of finesse, clarity, and terroir expression. He founded his eponymous maison in 1984 in Puligny-Montrachet, originally as a high-quality négociant house working closely with trusted growers — a model that remains central today alongside the estate’s own vines.
The house partners with select growers across the Côte de Beaune while farming its own holdings, ensuring strict fruit standards and consistency from villages to premier and grand cru sites. The style is precise and mineral-driven, with oak handled for support rather than show, delivering whites that are approachable young yet structured to age.
In the cellar, the modern era was shaped by long-time winemaker Franck Grux, with day-to-day winemaking now led by Technical Director Solène Panigai alongside œnologist Philippe Grillet. This continuity has helped the domaine remain focused on purity and site character, maintaining a reputation for balanced, terroir-driven wines.
Beyond the wines, the maison has become a standard-bearer for Burgundy hospitality. Its 17-room hotel and restaurant on Puligny’s square offer tastings, vineyard walks, and food-and-wine pairings that bring the region to life — a natural extension of Olivier’s belief that Burgundy should be shared.
From its beginnings as a family-run house to its current status as a benchmark in Puligny-Montrachet, Olivier Leflaive stands for elegant, exacting Burgundy — rooted in tradition, open to innovation, and unwaveringly committed to quality.
