Very bright light golden, very attractive. The aromas is soft and gentle, but beautiful. I especially like the purity and elegance of this pretty gal that Leflaive can offer. Very ripe fruits and perfume white and yellow florals expression that flow through on the fine, fresh mineral with minimal oak infused aromas that wrapped in a super bright, elegance package. First sipped and the sense of harmonious, purity and elegance thrilled me immediately. Not something explosive nor show-off, this has very bright ripe fruits that gently glide through the palate with really refine, polish, creamy velvety mouth feel with layer of green herbs, fresh honey and very light caramel (yes, not the heavy type that came across as burned). The soft, polish minerality lends a lightness and extra dimension to this wine. The sheer intensity is stunning but no sense of heaviness with pretty integration of oak. I especially like the lingering finish that not let go, with fresh mineral, some citrus and herbs nuanced. Really pretty for a 1er cru and I would say this is at the entry of a Grand Cru level for it sheer class and harmonious. No doubt this is my WOTN. Buy - Yes.
