2021 Domaine Leflaive Pouilly-Fuissé is a premium Chardonnay from Burgundy’s Mâconnais, sourced from biodynamically farmed parcels around the iconic Roche de Solutré. As part of Leflaive’s expansion into the appellation, it delivers a refined, mineral-driven style that bridges the gap between Mâconnais richness and Côte de Beaune precision.
The nose is lifted and elegant, showing citrus, white peach and pear, layered with white flowers, almond and flinty mineral notes. There is a clear aromatic precision, with both fruit purity and chalky terroir expression coming through.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, textured mouthfeel and bright acidity. Citrus and orchard fruit are supported by a strong mineral backbone and subtle oak integration, leading to a long, clean and refined finish. The 2021 vintage leans toward a more classical style - fresh, balanced and precise rather than rich or heavy.
