Wines from Domaine Leflaive

Producer: Domaine Leflaive
Wine: Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2008
Appellation: Batard_Montrachet Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France

Tasting notes: Deepish gold. Floral nose, less obviously rich than the rather oaky Bienvenues tasted. But with great purity. Very obviously Leflaive style. Still a little fizzy and with lots of density and great structure. Real body. Big and powerful. Very long.

Wine: Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Grapes from seven separate parcels of vines go into the village wine. The most important are Les Brelances and Les Tremblots and in total the parcels add up to 4.64ha. With vines on the Chassagne side of the village giving density and weight and those towards the Meursault side bringing minerality, together with the purity and floral qualities of those in the heart of the village, the combination produces a village wine of unusual complexity. The oak regime here is typically 15-20% new.

Wine: Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Clavaillon 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Fine and tight and introvert. Quite pure and lean and mineral with just a hint of wild flowers. A hint of bitter quinine on the finish. This should eventually be very pure and fine but one will have to wait. Our sample is from a tank with more new oak than the final blend will have.

Wine: Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Folatieres 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Interesting, complex bouquet already of undergrowth, vegetation. Quite substantial and dense on the palate. Very firm, almost rigid at this point. Should blossom into something very intriguing. Long and nuanced. But that backbone...! Good fruit too.

Wine: Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Les Pucelles 2008
Appellation: Puligny Montrachet Sub-region: Cote de Beaune
Region: Burgundy Country: France
Grape: Chardonnay
Tasting notes: Just finished its malo, still quite surly on the nose. Some smokiness. Very very embryonic. Still dominated by very young, almost raw, acidity. Minerals, not obvious fruit at this stage. This will presumably be a very slow burner. Extremely firm but impressive length. Baby Chevalier, suggests Eric Remy.
