July 16, 2021 - Amazing - goes to show, it's a gamble, you are really playing the roulette here. Colours is light, no signs of premox. This is hitting all the right spots, butter galore, citrus, vibrant acidity - vraiment Leflaive. Sometimes you win.

April 11, 2021 - (MF) Nose of cream and tropical fruit. Round, racy, mineral, slightly dry finish. Drinking best when served at around 5 C. The wine gets out of balance and loses vibrancy quickly once its temperature goes up. I suspect this is not a pristine bottle.

Tasted vis-vis the 2011 & 2010, this came out the winner, delicious with lots of young fruit, buttery mouthfeel, very classic burgundy - had I tasted it blind, I would have guessed 1er Cru. When Leflaive is good, it's extremely good, a pity, that it's only every second bottle ...

November 2, 2017 - 3 bottles opened, one bottle premoxed; but the good ones are really good, vibrant and quite deep, loads of citrus, som brioche, fine minerality - a very good balance. Would not opt to keep this long though. #B&J
