Domaine Leflaive
Les Combettes Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
A whiff of oxidation on the nose. Honeyed, white flowers. Lemon oil. On the palate fresher, quite rich, lovely intensity and good balance. Slight sherry hints at the edges. Very good but drunk up- bothersome, and why I’ve stopped buying Leflaive.

Feb 13th, 2021I have opened several bottles over the years, but now the wine starts to give. Nice refined buttery nose. Some of the once firm minerals toned down. So the wine in now much more lucious, almost volluptious. Very modest wood. Alimond bitters. Fresh enough to match the richness of salmon and lobster.
