Wow. Apricots, crème brûlée, and honey. As a dessert wine, this is stunning — 5 months ago

Still quite vibrant and buttery. Taste a lot of crème brûlée, nectarine, fig, lemon zest, and honeysuckle. Rich, well-balanced, and nice minerality for a satisfying finish. — 2 years ago

The 2015 Late Harvest Wine is redolent of tangerine peel, crème brûlée, spice, ginger, coffee and new French oak. This mid-weight, intensely aromatic late harvest dessert wine is very nicely balanced. Drink it over the next handful of years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2023) — 3 years ago

Word has gotten around about how obsessed I am with this wine/vintage, so the bev director surprised me with a dessert pour. Same wine, same vintage, but different bottle & a week and a half later. Still a mind blowing wine, though this encounter (bottle had been open a bit longer) leaned more into the crème brûlée, toffee characteristics with less perceptible fresh fruit. Still one of my candidates for best of 2022… — 4 years ago

2020 vintage. Undying cherry juice tartness with a smattering of earth. Decanted and tasted after 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours. Initial nose was promising. 07.18.25. — a year ago

Bright straw color. Highly aromatic. Sweet orange. Tangerine. Honeysuckle. Dried apricot, dried mango, dried orange blossom, red cherry blossoms. Tingly elevated acid, rather phenolically tannic. Slightly off dry. — 3 years ago

Medium gold color. Nose and color suggest this has a lot of age. Notes of apricot, gravel road, tan spice and lemon crème. Good weight and mouth feel. Nice structure. This is slightly advanced from where it should be at age 20 but drank nicely. Better than the other 02 Leflaive Pucelles I’ve had. — 4 years ago

Eileen and Jack at apt in Paris with Roast Pork Tenderloin, mushrooms and Bak Choy. Good wine with a little spice-texture. Less than 10 euro grocery store selection — 5 years ago

Alt champagne.

Nose is elegantly rich. The merest hint of florality. Not tropical which is unusual given the grape and region.

Palate is very elegant with a hint of krug like richness and depth.

Bought from fass selections. — 6 years ago

Noice and juicy, but balanced. Love this vintage in Beaujolais — 2 months ago

Crisp but balanced with citrus and crème brûlée. Great acidity for food but has enough flavor to stand on it’s own. — 10 months ago

Wonderful combination of bright fruit and structure. People sometimes forget that rosés are red wines, but this wine was a wonderful partner for a roast lamb and eggplant dish. Have this wine with food, and enjoy! — 3 years ago

Crème brûlée, lemon, a bit syrupy. In a good spot. — 4 years ago

9.6

Stupendous stuff. Soft, sweet and sexy in the nose. Structured, sultry and cedary on the palate.
Black cherries, Crème de Cassis, vanilla-caramel-mocha swirls. Topped off by some whiffs of earth, ink and soysauce.
Spectacular.
Dive in now or any time in the next decade. — 4 years ago
