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.
Chevalier-Montrachet--Vintage 1992
Côte de Beaune, Domaine Leflaive
"Explosive, dynamic nose of white flowers, exotic tropical notes of mango, coconut, ripe pear and passion fruit followed by rich, dense, sappy, mouth coating, sex flavors that exhibit incredible length. This is perhaps not entirely classic Chevalier as its too ripe and forward but that said, there is plenty of minerality on the long finish and for those who don't concern themselves unduly with typicity, this is a winelover's Chevalier. Tasted many times with consistent notes." BH, Mar 13, 2005
