The wines from Récolte are sourced from the original vineyards of Domaine Leflaive, reclaimed after a longstanding lease had come to an end of their once shared space. The meticulous care of the original biodynamic vineyard practices continued uninterrupted when these vineyards were returned to the Maison, complete with old-vines whose low yields allow for incredibly concentrated, perfumed wines to emerge.

The largest of the premier crus in Chassagne-Montrachet takes its name from the ancient abbey on the site. The Abbaye de Morgeot has gravelly, clayey limestone soil providing a well-drained terroir with plenty of mineral complexity. Rich and structured, this wine blends ripe yellow fruit flavours — peaches, apricots, tropical notes, with intense acidity. This wine is concentrated and ageworthy. To be enjoyed with shellfish or poultry.

“Pale lemon and lime. This time the oak has a light coconut effect. There is notably more body to this compared to Clos St Marc, while the thread of citrus acidity retains an equal balance. The fruit includes some little yellow plums, and continues through to an extended finish. A keeper. Drink from 2027-2035.”
