May 3, 2024 - Nose was quite reduced on opening, but most of the reduction blew off with time. Nose is toasty and a little smoky. Palate is mineral, with restrained lemony-citrus fruit. There’s heaps of creamy oak here - perhaps too much oak for my palate - but the wine somehow also manages to feel lean and fine-boned in parts, especially towards the finish. A bit disjointed. Unscored for now because we rushed this bottle…will score the next one.

February 2, 2024 - Not a detailed note, but I did enjoy this. Ripe yellow fruit & butter, almond and lemon.

January 10, 2024 - Burgund '21 + moden vin (Centropa, Oslo, Norway): Første årgang av denne fra Esprit Leflaive. Utpreget røyk og flint på duft og puligny-aktige toner. Nydelig vin med deilig, mineralsk og fintpreget stil. Stram og sitrusdrevet, godt integrert fatpreg. Lang, harmonisk smakskurve med flint-/toastpreget avslutning.

October 18, 2023 - Typical Domaine Leflaive style and that's a compliment. This is one of the cuvees in the winemaker's own portfolio. High intensity (a little too much), aromas are typical leflaive including the classical toast. Not that complex but long finish. 92+ #rest.Frank

April 11, 2023 - Corney & Barrow - Esprit Leflaive Dinner (Brasserie Gavroche): Pale lemon, and starbright with a silvery sheen. The aromas are dominated with the mild grey rocky smokiness and white floral fields and dried twigs, then a hint of green apples, lemon and white peach. Acids are mouthwatering, while generally a lean mouthfeel and a razor-sharp feel of minerals, with lemon and grapefruits, and zest, then dried florals, pepper, and a touch of haystack. Lengthy finish, which was mainly driven from the minerals and rocks. A wine that screams finesse! Makes its promotion to Premier Cru 2 vintages later nothing of a surprise
