June 30, 2023 - Still quite young, fat, structured, good acidity, if somewhat mild and reserved compared to the 17 drank a few hours later... 93-94

June 30, 2023 - Excellent and thank god no issues with premox. Just what you want in a big white burg.

March 25, 2023 - Pronounced nose intensity with slight honey, tropical yellow fruits, pineapple, vanilla. Medium+ acidity and medium finish. Finish is rather short. The nose is great but fall short on the palate. Probably due to the premox problem Leflaive facing during the 2000s period. Still enjoyable.

March 25, 2023 - The one with Bastards (ST Home): Unfortunately a bit advanced. Hazelnuts, apricots, yoghurt on the opening with mango, grapefruit and candied plums on the palate. Slightly metallic with floating notes of iron and steel.

October 3, 2022 - So rich, yet walks the tightrope so well between unctuous and classic, food friendly. It’s practically everything you’d hope for in mature Chardonnay except perhaps a tiny bit more toffee (though this is not over powering).
13%, cork. From Corivin1 person found this helpful Comment
