Esprit Leflaive Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Jarrons 1er Cru 2021 is a wine that embodies the expansion of the legendary Domaine Leflaive beyond the borders of Puligny-Montrachet, into a lesser-known but truly fascinating corner of Burgundy: Savigny-lès-Beaune. What makes it even more intriguing is that it defies expectations for the region. Rather than a rustic character, it offers elegance and refined floral and fruity aromas. Well, it’s Leflaive—what else would you expect?
Esprit Leflaive is a project launched in 2018 by winemaker Pierre Vincent, aiming to bring the philosophy of Domaine Leflaive to new terroirs across Burgundy, such as Chablis, Côte de Nuits, and Savigny-lès-Beaune. The idea was to create a range of wines that reflect the same precision, purity, and respect for nature, but from different regions—exploring the full potential Burgundy has to offer.
Les Jarrons is a Premier Cru vineyard in Savigny-lès-Beaune, a region often overlooked due to its more rustic reputation. However, this particular terroir has outstanding potential, with limestone soils and an ideal microclimate for cultivating Pinot Noir. It can produce exceptional reds at more accessible prices compared to other Premier Crus. And that’s exactly what Esprit Leflaive Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Jarrons 1er Cru 2021 delivers. The winemaking philosophy is consistent with all Leflaive wines: hand harvesting, indigenous yeasts, and balanced use of oak. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12–18 months, with only 30% new oak. The result is bursting with red fruit, flowers, and exotic spices.
Esprit Leflaive Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Jarrons 1er Cru 2021 is a wine for true lovers of Pinot Noir and Burgundy!
