Valentin Leflaive

The roots of the Champagne Valentin Leflaive adventure lie in the Leflaive family’s history in Puligny-Montrachet, where for centuries a love for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines—and the pursuit of precision in expressing Burgundy’s terroir—has prevailed.

Olivier Leflaive’s hallmark has long been the courage to take risks. Since 2015, a new chapter has been unfolding in Oger, at the heart of the Côte des Blancs: “Champagne de Lieux.” For this fresh and slightly unconventional project, Olivier chose the name Valentin—his son, born in 2007.

In 2020, Valentin Leflaive was officially approved as a Négociant-Manipulant and relocated to Oger. Champagne Valentin Leflaive established itself in an authentic winery with a traditional ageing cellar carved into the chalky soils. Jean Soubeyrand, together with cellar master Élysé Brigandat, leads this ongoing adventure.

This new beginning opens the way for distinctive experiments that reflect both the authenticity of the Champagne region and the Leflaive family’s ambition to craft wines defined by refinement and precision. Each glass from the Champagne Valentin Leflaive range is an invitation to discover Champagne at its best—an exploration of its landscapes and memories, where tasting becomes an unforgettable experience, first and foremost the fruit of a family adventure.
