(CDV) Si je reproche souvent à la maison de produire des vins trop boisés à mon goût, ce n’était pas le cas de celui-ci. Mais le grillé fumé de l’autolyse, offrant une réduction tenace et envahissante, n’allait pas pour autant me convaincre. En effet, l’aromatique restait engoncé dans des notes de pierre à fusil, entachant la pureté et la complexité aromatique de l’ensemble (sous-bois, petits champignons). L’équilibre du millesime se faisait bien sentir toutefois, sur la tension, la fraîcheur structurelle, donnant de l'allant et du souffle au vin. Un Batard tranchant, étiré (la très belle longueur du pédigrée) à servir de préférence sur des viandes blanches

Tasted blind, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose gained with air to show minerals, lemon, apples, and some toasty oak.
In the mouth, this wine was extremely well balanced with richness, acidity, and great length.
This still seemed a bit young but it was starting to drink well. This, again, had a bit too much oak in the mouth for my taste. Those that don't mind the oak might score it a couple points higher. Drink over the next 15 years.

blind Very good Burgundy, but this time not that perfect I had it a few times. Brilliantly balanced but this time at his peak, I had it "younger" in the palate. Anyway worth to search for it. Thanks Micha. 97

(Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet) Medium yellow colour. Heavy musky nose, a little cream and still plenty of oak. There's gorgeous acidity and a very impressive length. Beautiful texture - lovely. Concentration without weight - gorgeous and very young.

Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction. Magnum. Quiet start, the nearly explosively good middle-to-finish. This might also be the best I can ever recall for this (inconsistent) wine.
