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 25 new oak and are then transferred to steel tanks before fining and bottling.
Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune, Domaine Leflaive
In original carton
"A moderately particular nose of menthol, petrol and hints of sulfur that required more than an hour to entirely dissipate but otherwise the aromas are ripe, intense and fragrant followed by gorgeously detailed, powerful, rich and muscular flavors that possess outstanding length. Curiously for a grand cru from the '96 vintage, this seems quite approachable now but there is so much underlying material that it should drink well for another decade. Consistent notes."
