About Winery
Domaine Denis Mortet traces its roots to 1956 when Charles Mortet established a small estate in Gevrey-Chambertin. Denis joined his father in 1978, gradually shifting the domaine toward bottling its own wines rather than selling to merchants. In 1991, when Charles retired, Denis inherited 4.5 hectares and founded Domaine Denis Mortet, quickly gaining acclaim for meticulous vineyard work and refined winemaking, influenced by mentors like Henri Jayer and Lalou Bize-Leroy. By the early 2000s, the estate had expanded to around 11 hectares across Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vougeot. Following Denis’s passing in 2006, his son Arnaud took over, continuing the family tradition with a focus on authenticity, terroir expression, and sustainable practices, cementing the domaine’s reputation as one of Burgundy’s most admired producers.

About Winery
Domaine Leflaive, based in Puligny-Montrachet in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, traces its roots back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive settled in the village, but its modern form was shaped by Joseph Leflaive (1870–1953), a naval engineer who purchased 25 hectares of vineyards in 1905 during the post-phylloxera downturn; beginning in 1920, he replanted with better rootstocks and gradually built a reputation for exceptional Chardonnay, particularly from grands crus like Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Bâtard-Montrachet; under later generations, the domaine became a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture, fully converting in 1996, and today it spans about 24 hectares, including significant premier and grand cru holdings, producing some of the most sought-after and highly regarded white wines in the world.
