Critics scores
98 By Robert Parker
A stunning wine, the Montrachet may ultimately merit a higher score. Regrettably, few wine lovers will ever have the opportunity to taste this rare gem as only 25 cases were produced. White flowers and deeply imbedded honeysuckle and minerals provided a gustatory overload. The mouth possesses amazingly elegant, yet intense, gorgeous candied fruit notes revealing an awesome minerally sweetness as well as a judicious touch of oak. This oily- textured, floral, powerful, full-bodied wine displays the stuffing and structure to age admirably. Hold it for 6-8 years, and drink it over the subsequent 10-18.
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.
