Domaine Leflaive
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Lovely gentle lemon with seashells on the nose. There’s a real warmth to this in the core- lovely honeyed fruit with good tension and a long, long finish. A lovely wine.... 30 mins later, this has expanded and is really open and lush. Wow

Incredible. As usual, this has roundness AND beautiful minerality, showing both the best aspects of the upper and lower portions of the vineyard. Out of magnum.

Apr 23rd, 2017Consistent with the vintage. Ripe fruit trending towards tropical. Good focus and the classic Leflaive nose with a kids of sulfur still.

Aug 11th, 2014Shockingly mineral driven and focused, probably the best bottle I have of this vintage, super high acid for 2000
