Domaine Leflaive Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru 2014

Following training in oenology, Anne-Claude Leflaive had a hand in this family business in Puligny-Montrachet starting in 1990. She championed a biodynamic approach, undertaking a serious campaign to improve quality on 20 hectares of the estate. These wines pack great emotion, with a pronounced minerality and an almost surreal precision. Anne-Claude Leflaive unfortunately passed away in 2015. Her nephew Brice de la Morandière, assisted by a seasoned team, now heads the estate.

«This is also surprisingly expressive at this early stage with a broad-ranging nose that features notes of apple, pear, white flowers, wood spice and a hint of something mildly exotic. The big-bodied yet refined flavors possess a wonderfully textured mouth feel ... but not aggressive acid backbone on the hugely long finish where a hint of wood appears. This is slightly finer than usual with a really lovely sense of overall balance and harmony.»
