Winemaker Dinner with Anne-Claude Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy
Saturday 11th June 2011
Domaine Leflaive has been described as Burgundy’s greatest white wine domaine, and a flagship domaine in the Côte de Beaune, and biodynamic since 1997. It is a family estate that was initially created by Anne-Claude’s grandfather Joseph, and is now managed by Ann-Claude Leflaive. Decanter Wine Magazine, in their Top10 White Winemakers of the World, rated Anne-Claude Leflaive, Domaine Leflaive as the Number1. All her wines, from Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru, have all been critically acclaimed by the world’s leading wine writers.
A great opportunity to meet one of the greatest white winemakers in the wine world, and to taste the wonderful wines of Domaine Leflaive. It is over eight years since her last visit to Ireland, so an opportunity not to be missed for wine-lovers. Our thanks to Paddy Moore for organising this visit.
