  More advanced than I'd prefer.

  Tasted alongside the 2006, this was bigger but balanced and fresh. No hint of premox in either bottle so we were quite lucky. This bottle was greatly appreciated by the group of experienced drinkers. Totally what one would expect form an untainted Leflaive Chevalier with mineralogy, orchard fruits and subtle richness. The best bottles from this vintage are quite good indeed.

  Clean bottle, very fresh. Nice reduction and subtle smoke / sulphur. No overripeness, definitely opulent and ripe fruit but not overblown. Precise mineral and acid. In a completely different category than the ‘09 Bâtard from Leflaive, even the good ones. Superior to the ‘11 the next night too.

  Aged wonderfully, this bottle started to show complexity of multi-layers of fragrance and depth, getting closer to what Montrachet would able to offer. Outstanding!

  Rich golden yellow; nose a bit oxidized, also some sweetness; soft, rounded attack, again a hint of oxidation but happily not too much, sweetish long long aftertaste; a pity that older Leflaive often get these oxidative characters, when not they are marvellous, but they are far between, this one fine and nice, but no “singing” and - given price - a bit disappointing
