Domaine Leflaive - Puligny-Montrachet depuis 1717

A Tribute to Life

The publishing house Skira releases A Tribute to Life by Domaine Leflaive and directed by Brice de La Morandiere, the first book dedicated to the iconic family estate in the Côte de Beaune. The publication is conceived as a poetic exploration of the living world, where emotion is cultivated as carefully as the vine.

As the pages unfold, A Tribute to Life resembles a musical symphony, in which each note contributes to the harmony of the whole. It conveys a profound respect for the land, plant and animal life, as well as the expertise and passion of those who tend the vines and shape our landscapes. A Tribute to Life by Domaine Leflaive was conceived as a poetic contribution that everyone can make their own.

BUY THE BOOK

“What connects us to others and to nature gives rise to incomparable emotions. It embodies the artistic dimension of wine, the poetry it inspires. A Tribute to Life invites us to encounter something greater than ourselves.
To encounter the living world”

Brice de La Morandière, Managing Director of Domaine Leflaive.

The book also celebrates all those, artisans and artists, who are invited to contribute sincerely to the creation of a shared narrative with the Domaine Leflaive. Hugo Bourny, Michelin-starred chef, is one such figure. Working hand in hand with Brice de La Morandière, the family’s managing director, and Thierry Thévenin, a botanist, forager and ethnobotanist, he has devised eight gastronomic creations.

These dishes have been developed from plant species found near the estate’s vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet and celebrate the beauty of the Burgundian landscape on the plate. Presented prominently at the heart of the book, these unique and refined creations are paired with the estate’s wines.

A Tribute to Life is an invitation to immerse oneself in the émotions evoked by a place, the vine, the women and men who work alongside it, and the surrounding natural environment.

It is a book to be experienced as much as read, thanks to the richness of its themes and the formal beauty of Jérôme Bryon’s photography. A sensitive work, free from postproduction retouching.
