With a recent history, it has gained enormous importance in the world of collectible wines, achieving stratospheric ratings in guides and being considered a promising wine of Burgundy. Respect for the terroir is demonstrated by biodynamics, which has been practiced for over 20 years, since the era of Pascal Marchand, succeeded by Pierre Vincent (now Domaine Leflaive) who produced more ethereal wines, with delicacy and purity of fruit, as maintained by Sylvie Poillot. The Domaine's arsenal of vineyards is impressive. A highlight is the Clos Blanc de Vougeot, considered by Jasper Morris MW to be the best white wine of the Côte de Nuits.
Chardonnay reigns supreme. This vineyard was a gift from Emperor Charlemagne to the canons of the church of Saint-Andoche in Saulieu. The vineyard has remained in the inheritance of this religious community for over 1,000 years!
