Domaine Leflaive
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Day 2 of WineBoyz Wineapalooza. Tasted blind. Medium gold color, slightly darker than the 89 Raveneau next to it. Cochey nose with notes of wet stone, petrol, marzipan, tan spice and pit fruit. Powerful with massive acidity. Got better and better over the day. Love 99 Leflaive! Guessed 05 Coche Meursault Genevrieres. 96+

Mar 26th, 2022The best white wine I’ve ever had. 10 is the correct number. Out of magnum direct from the Domaine and had ZERO hint of oxidation.
