Olivier Leflaive doesn't quite have the same "wow" reputation as Leflaive (yet!); but the domaine has taken back some more of the vines that used to go to Leflaive and is now farming them itself; and the increasing quality is also due to winemaking improvements and the relentless pursuit of quality. These wines are now well-worth chasing!
Samuel Billaud may not quite be in the league of Raveneau and Dauvissat, but it's now not far off!

Both of these Burgundy domaines we are featuring here remind me of the old addage that it's better to dine at a "hungry" 2 star trying for a third, than a long-time 3 star.
Desvignes is a classic that many of you know, if you don't you should try some. :-).
