    June 21, 2022 - Musique & Vin Festival BYO Dinner (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Small glass. Absolutely great, and great right now. Floral and spiced with a broad array of orchard fruit throughout. Big and powerful, but with so much discretion. Thanks for sharing, Brice!

    May 13, 2019 - From coravin. Very mineral but ripe on the palate with low acidity. Showed good richness but this wine will not age like most 2016.

    January 26, 2019 - A normal crop may see around 28 barrels in the cellar, ’16 yielded just 7. This is an incredibly dense, tight and rich wine. It has so much muscle and power and shows glimpses of orchard fruit, flora and slate. Needs a ton of time.

    August 18, 2018 - Expressively floral. Round, approachable palate with serious density and length.

    July 9, 2018 - Beautiful Batard. Big with grand cru weight and length, this is really going to make an impact as it opens up. A step up from the BBM and nearly at the Chevalier level. Wonderful texture that's characteristic across the '16 Leflaive lineup.
