Wines from Domaine Leflaive

Producer: Domaine Leflaive
Wine: Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Pale yellow. Complex aromas of ripe stone fruits and musky flowers, with a hint of more exotic fruits. Considerably bigger and richer than the Bienvenue; in fact, this is quite opulent for the year, offering a wonderfully fine-grained texture. A ripe pineapple quality is leavened by firm acidity. Already explosive on the back end. 92-95

Producer: Domaine Leflaive
Wine: Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Bright, pale yellow. Pure, delicate aromas of crushed stone, hazelnut and white flowers. Then penetrating and dry, with imploded, mineral-driven flavors currently dominating subtle stone fruit notes. Best today on the very long and linear finish, which features captivating mineral perfume. The yield here was a moderate 35 hectoliters per hectare, compared to 37 for the Batard and 33 for the Montrachet. 92-95

Wine: Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "Le Clavoillon" 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Bright yellow. The nose suggests riper fruits than the Dos d’Ane: yellow peach, even orange. Then silky and ripe for this cuvee at this stage, conveying an impression of richness and lowish acidity. This is 14% alcohol-and more harmonious today than the Meursault. 89-92

Wine: Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Folatieres" 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Bright yellow. Musky aromas of yellow peach and flowers. Very ripe and opulent, with a smoky quality that Remy says is as much from the soil as the oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Almost tannic on the back end, but lush more than particularly structured wine, with good stuffing and verve. 89-92
