The 2009 Chevalier-Montrachet seems to combine elements of the Bienvenues and Batard. An open, floral bouquet melds into in sweet fruit, white flowers and the essence of crushed rocks. The Chevalier possesses striking inner perfume and fabulous balance as it wraps around the palate in stunning style. Leflaive-s parcels are located on the higher parts of the slope. 2019+.
Producer
Domaine Leflaive
Today, the Domaine Leflaive stands in the hands of fourth generation, Brice de La Morandiere the great-grandson of founder Joseph Leflaive. Dating back to the 1920s, Joseph undertook the great responsibility of replanting, expanding and revamping the family’s vines in Puligny-Montrachet. Gaining speed in the 1960s and 1970s while under the direction of Joseph’s son Vincent, the estate’s reputation blew up, focusing more on quality, their wines from that moment on have become extremely sought after. With each generation came success. With Vincent’s daughter, the late Anne-Claude for example, the estate became a biodynamic grower-producer further highlighting their already high-quality production. Biodynamic methods help to reflect the elements of the terroir which show through in their balanced, and structured wines. Known as Burgundy’s finest white producer, their wines have brilliant clarity and purity, with complex dimension.
