i. Biography
Eric Remy’s work at Domaine Leflaive was defined by continuity: one estate, one village, and a long apprenticeship in the exacting routines of White Burgundy. He joined Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet in 2003 as assistant winemaker, a role that placed him inside the daily discipline of cellar work. By 2008, he had moved into the winemaker role at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet, and the trajectory from there was measured in responsibility rather than reinvention.
The Path
At Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet, the early years from 2003–2008 were spent as assistant winemaker, a position that demands close attention to process and a steady hand in support of the cellar. The move in 2008 to broader authority kept him in the same place and deepened the same practice. From 2008–2017, Eric Remy served as winemaker, régisseur at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet, and vigneron at Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet—three titles that point to direct oversight, vineyard familiarity, and sustained responsibility across the estate. The arc is straightforward: no side steps, only a longer apprenticeship to the same house and its standards.
The Work Today
His craft specialty was White Burgundy wines from Domaine Leflaive. In that lane, the work depends on precision, restraint, and close reading of site. Eric Remy’s name is tied to a style that aims for clarity rather than emphasis, with the vineyard left legible and the winemaking kept in service of expression. That is the practical challenge of the form: to shape without overinsisting.
Signature
Eric's signature wines include Le Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, Batard Montrachet, Bienvenue Batard-Montrachet, and Les Pucelles. Those wines place Eric Remy in some of Burgundy’s most closely watched white-wine sites, where the job is to register parcel differences clearly and keep each name readable in the glass.
Acclaim
The style associated with the work is more discrete, with far less pronounced notes of burnt rubber, gunpowder, and popcorn; the terroir is more exposed and visible in the young wines. That profile points to a method that favors transparency over force. In the context of Domaine Leflaive in Puligny-Montrachet, Eric Remy’s work is read as restraint in practice: wines that do not shout, and sites that remain visible early.
