Domaine Leflaive’s “Esprit Reys” 2020 is a refined and expressive Chardonnay sourced from their biodynamically farmed vineyards in Pouilly-Fuissé—a flagship appellation known for producing some of the finest white wines of southern Burgundy.
Situated near the iconic Rock of Solutré, these vineyards benefit from fossil-rich marl and limestone soils formed millions of years ago under a Jurassic sea. This unique terroir imparts both richness and mineral precision to the wine.
Under the stewardship of Brice de La Morandière, Domaine Leflaive continues its legacy of biodynamic viticulture, crafting wines that reflect purity, balance, and a deep sense of place. The 2020 vintage is a harmonious blend of concentration, freshness, and elegant texture.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuissé, the flagship white appellation of southern Burgundy, made by Domaine Leflaive from biodynamically farmed vineyards near the Rock of Solutré. Those vines grow in fossil-rich marl and limestone soils formed under a Jurassic sea, and the glass shows it. Ripe peach, honeydew melon and white flowers lead the way. The palate is silky and slightly viscous, with a gentle honeyed richness, while fresh acidity and a fine mineral backbone keep everything precise. The finish lingers with soft pastry notes and a touch of spice. It suits the white Burgundy drinker who values texture and purity at the table. It also rewards patience, since the cellaring guidance runs five to ten years for nutty, honeyed development. We carry it because it shows how Leflaive's biodynamic approach, under the stewardship of Brice de La Morandière, translates to southern Burgundy terroir, and because the 2020 vintage brings concentration and freshness into real balance.
Pairs well with
- Seared scallops — The wine's fresh acidity and mineral backbone match the sweet, delicate flesh of scallops, while its peach and melon fruit adds lift.
- Creamy risotto night — The silky, slightly viscous texture and honeyed richness mirror a creamy risotto, and the bright acidity keeps each bite fresh.
- Holiday roast turkey dinner — Stone fruit, pastry and light baking spice notes complement roast poultry and make it a versatile white for a shared celebratory table.

Should I drink it now or cellar it?

Either works. Drink it now for its freshness and fruit purity, or cellar it for 5–10 years so it can develop additional complexity with nutty and honeyed nuances. It comes in a standard 750 ml bottle.
