History and anecdotes
The family Leflaive estate located in Bourgogne, Côte de Beaune, has been present since 1635. Olivier Leflaive decided to take the business over in 1984 and to create a Bourgogne wine trading house, Olivier Leflaive Frères, a winegrowing and winemaking firm. This was a singular idea which created a “haute couture” trading house.
