Split personality
Article Abstract:
Domaine Leflaive is a family-run winery in the Burgundy region of France. Anne-Claude Leflaive is the head of the estate, and is committed to producing small amounts of the best possible white wines. His cousin, Olivier, has constructed a respected business that produces large amounts of red and white wines of inconsistent quality. He is also a shareholder of Domaine Leflaive, and the cousins' differing philosophies have created a power struggle within the winery.
