Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Olivier Leflaive and Domaine Leflaive?

They are two separate enterprises connected by family history but operated entirely independently. Domaine Leflaive is the historic family domaine — one of Burgundy’s most prestigious estates — producing exclusively estate-grown wines from its own vineyards, known particularly for Puligny-Montrachet Premiers and Grands Crus. Olivier Leflaive, Domaine Leflaive’s former co-director, founded his own négociant company in 1984, buying grapes and wine from growers across the Côte de Beaune to produce a wider range of appellations than a single domaine could access. The two produce different wines from different sources and should not be confused — Olivier Leflaive’s range is broader and more approachable in price; Domaine Leflaive’s wines are rarer and command significantly higher prices.

What is the Olivier Leflaive Bourgogne Les Sétilles and who is it for?

Les Sétilles is the entry-level Bourgogne Blanc from Olivier Leflaive — a regional Chardonnay from the broader Burgundy appellation rather than a specific village or premier cru. It is blended from grapes sourced across the Côte de Beaune and represents the most accessible price point in the Olivier Leflaive range. For consumers who want the house style — clean, precise, mineral-driven Burgundian Chardonnay with Leflaive’s winemaking approach — without the cost of village or premier cru appellations, Les Sétilles is the standard recommendation. It is also the best starting point for evaluating whether the Leflaive style suits a palate before committing to Meursault or Puligny-level pricing.
