Description

Burgundy is a land destined for wine by nature. In its millennial history, it has intimately linked man to the vine in some places. In Puligny-Montrachet, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Leflaive family has been established for more than three centuries.

Burgundy’s wines have acquired a simple and unique reputation: they are the best Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs in the world. Each appellation comes from a specific place, a parcel of vines often of modest size: these famous “Climats” form the basis of the Burgundy model. The diversity of Burgundy’s wines is also found in its 84 appellations, from the grands crus at the top of the pyramid through the premiers crus and the villages to the regional AOCs. More than a classification or a nomenclature, these are names that amateurs dream about: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Corton, Meursault... Or even, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, where the Leflaive family has been established since 1717.

Review
This is aromatically quite cool still with its restrained nose of Granny Smith apple, plethora of white flower, spice, iodine, quinine and mineral reduction aromas. There is again excellent underlying tension to the racy, detailed and stony medium weight plus flavors that are akin to rolling tiny pebbles around the mouth on the youthfully austere, sneaky long and balanced finale. This chiseled and moderately austere effort is also very clearly built to repay extended keeping and it has every appearance of being one of the better recent vintages of the Leflaive Chevalier.

Review
Peach, pineapple, lemon oil, citronella, lime blossom, hazelnut, white pepper and oyster shell aromas and flavors are among the complex details in this intense white. Tightens up while building to the superlong aftertaste, all the while remaining elegant and classy. Shows impressive harmony and length. Best from 2028 through 2038.
