2009 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay

9.7

At last! A great bottle of recent Leflaive. A real stunner. Rich and powerful. Sweetness, white flowers, a touch of honey, minerality, chalk, a whiff of mint. Fresh yet powerful and intense. A great bottle. Wow

The forward personality of the 2009 vintage makes this drink more like a batard. The oak has eased and the wine is very approachable.

The '09 grand cru whites are shaping up nicely. Neither oak nor SO2 are issues and the fruit is so carefree expressive.
