December 3, 2023 - Vinen er sjekket og rekorket hos Leflaive. Luftet i 2 timer. Sødmefull, gylden duft av sommerblomster, hvit pære, honning og noe tre. Fremstår fortsatt ungdommelig med flott syre, bra intensitet og sitter lenge, men hadde håpet på noe mer intens primærfrukt. Gul frukt, hvit pære, bakt sitron, noe sjøpreg, trepreget utgang. Synes 2017 var hakket bedre, fortsatt en flott vin, men usikker på om den har mer å hente med mer tid.

February 3, 2023 - Thanks to Pluckemin Inn's immaculate storage, this bottle was a textbook example of an aged white burgundy. This drinks like a carefully crafted toasted sesame dessert. Ripe tropical fruits contrast with beads of lemon, green apple and orange extract. Jasmine petals and sea salt sprinkled across the plate elevate the sensory experience. Most importantly, the toasted sesame running from the nose to the palate to the finish ties this creamy dessert up in a beautiful, creamy package.
You can't help but have a smile on your face when a perfect bottle of aged white burgundy like this checks all the boxes.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 20, 2022 - 3rd bottle in a row that was Premoxed!! Thankfully this my last '05 bottle. What a tragedy.... So I opened a 2005 Henri Boillet Mersault Les Genevrieres that was beautiful. Night saved....

February 14, 2022 - 2 bottles opened for Valentines Day - both Premoxed. One more than the other, but both undrinkable. Very disappointing....

January 5, 2022 - A superb birthday dinner (Amsterdam): Deep golden colour, very ripe, noticeable wood and bitters, a whiff of lovage, minerals also, still very elegant, but its age was a bit too obvious.

11/1/2007 (link)(Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles) A wide and authoritative nose that’s both concentrated and dense. In the mouth its quite rich but the acidity is just the right foil to provide lift and balance. It’s expensive, but it is what it is - excellent.
