About this product

Curated Domaine Leflaive with provenance from Burgdy.

Most floral perfumed wine on the nose of all the wines in the tasting. On the palate it is elegant & delicate yet has deceptive power & has an extremely long finish that lingers. Clay-limestone soilfrom 4 parcels in the Batard-Montrachet appellation 1.9ha. Cooler nights resulted in higher than usual acidity with good conditions throughout the harvest allowed for ripe healthy fruit. Fermentation in oak casks 25% 6 months in tank prior to 12 mnths in oak. Top wine of flight & tasting. 5 Stars

Opened the Domaine Leflaive Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2018 White after a short decant. Forward notes of lime, apple and minerals. taste is balanced, quite viscous and persistent for a village wine with good length.

Cellar candidate

The mid-palate has everything in the right place. Green apple and fresh lemon turn up on entry with clean and focused medium plus acid. Solid pour.
