Domaine Leflaive
Les Combettes Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
Developed. Very poised and balanced. Clear and quite tangy, notes of orange and almost aged semi loon- like stuff. Interesting and still fresh. Good.

Sep 9th, 2019Slightly more advanced in this company. Mellow rounded oily lemon with a hint of sandalwood. Nice balance and poise. In the more advanced and secondary style compared to some of the 2010’s with more punch

Jun 23rd, 2019The bottle wasn't right to me. A touch of #premox and faded on the nose and palate. It opened up a touch over 1.5 hrs but not like I was hoping it would. However when I tasted this I was just about to come down with a cold. The sommelier at the restaurant said it was fine. I wasn't convinced.

Nov 5th, 2016Quite advanced. Broad, ripe, floral. It's all quite intense middle, lemon, honey, apple.

Dec 3rd, 20162010 vintage. At Leflaive dinner, Scott's. Pale golden hue. Sea shell minerality, vanilla pod, ripe lemon pieces and nutty notes. Peaches and cream - rich. Fairly complex. On the palate, medium plus acidity - fresh. Deep concentration. Good length. Really good on the mid palate. Only criticism is that the wine is quite rich. This is very good - drink now until 2026.
