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

My favorite: Les Combettes. Still very young, but very delicious.

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

Golden color. Wood nose. Very well balanced with lime, apple and some hints of yellow fruit. Integrated very well.

Tart and to the point. Only oak is on the nose but it is so light. Ice cold it tastes like a SB. The dryness is something you look forward to sip after sip... when it opens up to room temp it tastes like a beautiful deflowered orange blossom, Happy New Year!!
