  5 years since we tried this last (Papies 90) and framed vs older and mature wines ( Ex Votto 2005, Bouchard Perrieres 2005) this shown with a fresh feel, light honey touches and still a light touch of oak. Energetic still and bright albeit showing age and softening up. Ripe yellow fruits, light mineral, a bit fatty too but with a good core. In a very good place now and with a few year to go. If like us one likes their whites a bit fresher this is the time for this wine. 92

  Beef and Vosne (Holland Park): A nice start to the dinner. This had a nice nose of butter and cream floating around ripe yellow fruited notes, and then just a hint of Leflaive’s smoky, oyster shell flintiness. Very nice, and quite distinctly Meursault. The palate was lovely too. Sweet and ripe, as one would expect from the vintage, with notes of pineapple amongst stone fruited flavours, all this packed together very nicely with a surprising amount of citrussy acidity that lifted it into a long, chalky, quite classically Leflaive finish. Not brilliant - this was just a bit blowsier and well-cut than usual - but this was a very solidly good wine.

  Lemon, peach, vanilla; rich, full, smooth, pure, reasonably long finish but somewhat vapid

  A private tasting (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL): Tasted blind. Fuller colour, nutty and rounded and supple, slightly lactic and meaty, feels unhinged, full but lacks freshness, tight and dry, but with a slightly alcoholic finish.

  Ren och snygg samtidigt som den har en väldigt fet och stor textur. Citrus, apelsin och massor av mineral.
