Popped and poured; consumed over the course of an hour. No formal notes. A pretty wine that, to my taste, comes across fairly primary at this stage so I would hold until 2025 and try again. Well-made and has a touch of “je ne sais quoi” that gives it some distinction. — a year ago

Je sais que c’est jeune mais j’en ouvre une quand même pour me faire une idée. Petit coup de carafe, le nez peu jasant devient plus expressif sur les fruits noirs, une touche de conifères mais à peine, mais une bouche plus expressive et texturée, assez puissante et avec de la matière et du volume, mais sans excès et avec du beau fruit, assez long, au final on voit tout le potentiel, très bon maintenant. 90-91

Still very young but opening one anyway since this is a Villages wine I always love, a quick decant helps the nose to become more expressive with a dark fruit profile, the palate has great volume and texture, more expressive than the nose, medium to full bodied but nothing over the top either, the fruit is gorgeous and the wine is very approachable, nice delicious finish not too square for a young MSD, good right now, the potential is great. 90-91 — 3 years ago

Dark cherry aroma, medium body, drinks like a Cab Sauvignon with a Merlot after taste. Paired beautifully with a spicy, slow braised pork stew. — 6 months ago

92+, loads of potential here too for a tick or 2 up. Open 2-3 hours before to give it some air. Consumed over 4 days. Some whole cluster adds a nice lift to the nose of mixed berries, cherries, and garrigue...very FRENCH, plenty of je ne sais quoi! — 2 years ago

Served alongside the 2019 Montelena. The 2020 Leflaive “Bourgogne” is obviously youthful but already showing its quality. It plays very well with the Montelena but pulls from the greatness of Puligny-Montrachet and brings a certain “je ne sais quoi” that cannot be denied. There’s more complexity and acid than the Montelena but fruit is clearly more on the citrus side of the spectrum and there’s a lovely mineral aspect as well. Only 10% new oak used and it shows…as it’s almost imperceptible relative to the Montelena. Not exactly what I would call a value Bourgogne Blanc…but when you consider that it’s not your typical Bourgogne Blanc due to the source material, I can understand the tariff. It drinks pretty special IMO. Drink now and over the next 10 years. — 2 years ago

Everything you'd hope a bourbon would be. Strong notes of dark wood and honey, with a certain vital Je ne sais quoi that my untrained palette has trouble detecting. — 4 years ago
