Domaine Leflaive
Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Really open with ripe honeyed fruit and oyster shell minerality underneath. Yellow flowers, a rich mouthfeel. Lush and opulent. Surprisingly advanced but very enjoyable.

Nov 30th, 2018Light gold. Expressive and bright with white flowers, great minerality and a honeyed lemon note. Broad and long. Years ahead. In theory.

Mar 7th, 2018A brightness on the nose. Lemon oil and white flowers. On the palate lovely body and concentration with a light minerality and beautiful acidity. Very approachable now and long. Fun!

Jun 20th, 2017Light lemon colour. Quite rich ripe white fruits, slightly roasted notes. Hazelnut. On the palate very well balanced , high acidity but lots of white fruits, lemon. Long finish, really excellent . Young, but approachable now , I imagine it will improve for a few years and last well for another 15 perhaps . A great wine. In fact the last glass I kept until the following evening , and the wine improved considerably . Much more complex after a day open : buttered vanilla popcorn and lemon curd I noticed with a great mineral backbone fantastic length.
