DOMAINE LEFLAIVE
Domaine Leflaive is an impressive force in the Côtes de Beaune and the most famous estate in Puligny-Montrachet. With three generations of winemakers at the helm, today the domaine's holdings stretch from grand cru to village wines, all made with the same exacting technique and level of perfectionism. Anne-Claude, daughter of Vincent Leflaive, alongside winemaker Pierre Morey both bring a new winemaking ethos following biodynamic principles to create some of the best whites made in Burgundy.
The domaine has 22 hectares of vines, 10 hectares of Premiers Crus and no fewer than 5 of Grand Crus, including 1.91 of the 7 in the limestone and clay soils of Chevalier-Montrachet.
Wines are aged for 12 months in new oak and are then transferred to steel tanks before fining and bottling.
BATARD MONTRACHET
Bâtard Montrachet is literally the bastard of Montrachet, but considering the stupendous heights often achieved by its father this is not such a bad thing. It tends to be a lighter flowery wine with a citrus melon vibe that is accessible and earlier to mature.
Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 1993
Côte de Beaune, Domaine Leflaive
In original carton
"Superbly complex and elegant fruit that is now displaying plenty of secondary development and leads to fat, forward yet stunningly detailed flavors that benefit from excellent acidity and cut plus a really impressive finish. Approachable now but certainly capable of holding further. Beautiful and classy juice. Consistent notes." BH, April 21, 2005
