France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Thankfully a good bottle, but very sweet and a bit bland. Ripe fruit, salinity, sesame, sophisticated layers, spicy finish albeit a bit short. Grand cru weight but so smooth in its signature Leflaive style. 95
Some beer-like oxidative quality, brewed fruit, pear-like acidity with a very dense finish. Very very interesting in its light flow that is not usually found in Savagnin. Brilliant wine and my WOTN. 95

Very high acid, cotton candy, toasted bread, plum. Very fine texture, quite a bit of tannin, and long life ahead. 94
