| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.6 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by LiteItOnFire on 5/11/2024 & rated 93 points: No notes. Generously shared at CdT BYOB lunch and this was my White of the night. Tasted like a mini Batard giving off oily, sexy mouthfeel while maintain for ~25 year old wine, freshness, citrus and the almond, nuttiness with nice minerality. Beautiful beautiful wine. 93-94 (62 views) | | | Tasted by bugdoced on 2/10/2024 & rated 91 points: cork soaked 7/8 through so happy to open this
not much salty minerality but the maturity elegance and butteriness with residual acidity was special.
enjoyed by all after vistro prime dinner (115 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 9/25/2022 & rated 92 points: Classic Leflaive sesame, ripe yellow fruit, and caramalized almond on the nose. Palate shows the vintage ripeness with moderate acidity. Drinking at peak. I would not wait. (564 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 5/2/2022 & rated 92 points: Classic Leflaive sesame, ripe yellow fruit and white flowers on the nose. Palate is rich and ripe with moderate acidity and good concentration. Drinking at peak now. No need to wait. (579 views) | | | Tasted by jerhardt on 7/17/2020 & rated 94 points: This was actually the '01. A great showing, and more than held its weight alongside its bigger brother ('01 Leflaive BBM). Everything you want in mature, old school Leflaive, in that perfect sweet spot of balancing complexity from its age but still retaining vibrancy from its youth. Excellent. (607 views) | | | Tasted by Daniel Benton on 12/23/2018 & rated 95 points: Still very good. No premox. (746 views) | | | Tasted by Paul S on 8/15/2018 & rated 93 points: Beef and Vosne (Holland Park): This had a lovely nose, with a hint of smoky toast, some sweet cream, white fruit, a drift of white flowers, very classically Puligny. The palate was lovely too, soft and voluptuous, with enough balancing acidity to keep its delicious flavours of white fruit, citrus peel and gentle spice all very balanced and focused. Great long finish too, with a touch of minerality and a soupçon of spice wrapped up into a beautifully integrated back-palate. A superb Folatieres, drinking nicely now. Hitting above its weight - this stood toe-to-toe with a 2000 Chevalier-Monty and showed nicely. (1326 views) | | | Tasted by Alex G. on 3/24/2015: Intense mineral, very long finish. (880 views) | | | Tasted by RayOB on 6/10/2013 & rated 90 points: Drank in London
Lot's of nosette and creamy but with a good mineral balance. Slightly short. (2940 views) | | | Tasted by tbriggs on 11/29/2011 & rated 87 points: A little nutty, with some rich cheese or bacon fat. Good acidity. (3299 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 6/25/2009: 'Vintage Pairs II' Offline (The Ledbury, London): Slightly bacon fat nose, mineral, some oak. A touch of spice. A little fatter and more obvious than the Puceller! Very elegant with a lovely spicey finish. **** (4683 views) | | | Tasted by Joe Belmaati on 8/12/2004 & rated 92 points: Light yellow colour. The bouquet revealed notes of chalk and dust. To begin with the wine was closed, but it opened up with air and the temperature rising in the glass. The acid is quite pronounced in this wine providing a fresh and bitey delivery, carried through by good, ripe, concentrated fruit. Nice complexity and elegance and a delicious, vanilla-sweet aftertaste to follow.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
