The historic Leflaive family, which has always owned vineyards, was also born here. In the 1980s Olivier Leflaive, had a desire to have his own label and winery, so he began to select the best plots and then produce great wines.
The Leflaive winery today makes wine from 120 hectares of vines including 17 of its own divided among the best villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, in Chablis and the Côte Chalonnaise.
