Leflaive x Grolleau. Super interesting. Unlike any Grolleau I've ever had. Not grape-ey or beaujolais-like, but firm, tannic, and (most likely) age-worthy. It's probably not worth $50 retail but is the best and most shining example of its kind. #decantthis #leflaive — 10 years ago
Perfect union of two wine taster truths. 1) the best bottles are mispriced restaurant wine list bottles. 2) the best bottles to pay outrageous restaurant markups on are older white burgundies cause they wear the premox risk. Rare and perfect union of the two tonight in St. Louis where a 2009 leflaive les combettes was purchased for a price well below auction or lowest retail. Not the slightest sign of premox. Was actually delicious and characteristically leflaive. Not sure it has the acidity to make it 10 more years but for near term consumption it was really excellent. #bigwin #leflaive #deal — 7 years ago

Vintage 2009 - light impression of flowers, lemon. Refinement and power. Partnered with scallops gave it lots of joy. #chardonnay #pulignymontrachet #leflaive — 7 years ago

White flowers, lemon, pear, matchstick, talcum. Fresh on the palate with more citrus, baked apple with a nice lace of minerality. #leflaive — 6 years ago
