Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay

Corked! Nooooooooooo..

Corked. How many ways can this disappoint.

Great zesty nose of intense lemon oil, and some lifted minerality. The palate is focused and racy with deep citrus and seashells. This goes on and on, and is really lovely

Classic Leflaive reductive style.
Due to the vintage I doubt this will ever truly shine but decanting for 2+ hours certainly won't hurt it.

Absolutely singing!

Splash decanted but still hanging on to its sulphur. Still pretty great.

Elegant focused

Good but underperforming.

Pale yellow color, lemon, light wine with a medium body. Refreshing and strong enough to hold against a seasoned fish.
