A rather harsh rating, but this really fail to deliver what I was legitimacy hoping for. An inelegant and greenish pinot with slightly bitter tanins, medium bodied, and feeling a bit disjointed. I usually love Rousseau, I have a great souvenir of a 2006 Mazy (so-so vintage too), but this was not drinking well. I tasted the wine by myself over two days (pregnant wifey) and it did not get any better on day 2. Wine came directly from the domaine a short while ago.

As a few years back I have not been impressed by this wine at all. It lacks the usual complexity and elegance of DRC wines, especially in a vintage that was kind to red wines. Light bodied, and somewhat incomplete. Overall a decent wine, but a real letdown considering the maker and the vintage.

Oxidized. Amazing how drinking Leflaive have become a variant of playing Russian roulette. Every time I drink an oxidized Leflaive I promised myself to quit Leflaive, but occasion arises comforting me in that prospect. If that domaine had a little more self-esteem they'd openly offer to replace the amazingly high amount of dead bottles they were unreasonable enough to put on the market. So unbelievably unreliable and arrogant to consumers...
