Leflaive

2000 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet

By on October 31, 2003 #asides

Pale gold. Quite an understated nose of white flowers, peach and grapefruit. A more intense fruit experience than Leflaive’s bourgogne, still a little oak and almost good acidity. The finish is longer than the Bourgogne too. For best effect, I’d suggest leaving this for 2 or 3 years while you drink the Bourgogne!

Pale-medium yellow. The nose has a lovely lemony custard note and shows good depth. Fat with very good acidity and for the appelation tremendous depth and length, just a trace of butteryness. This is seriously good bourgogne and would put most villages wines to shame. I think I shall order a case!

Pale gold. The nose is also a little subdued, but there’s ripe pineapple and melon with swirling. Fatter and richer palate which is just a little buttery. Lovely acidity and has a much longer finish than Faiveley’s. Excellent Bourgogne.

1999 Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc

This is pale yellow with a very prominent peach and apricot nose – most individual. Fat, with a very wide palate and good acidity. I liked the style but my wife didn’t like the nose. Individual and very good.
