I am not a 16 white burg lover in general but have had good experience with Leflaive (Folatieres) in the vintage before and here again this bottle showed really very well indeed. Good cut and energy, time was very kind it developed a racy grapefruit note with extended aeration. Lovely.

Grand Cru quality and concentration here. Youthful and primary but it's all there -- rich fruit with some tropical, spice and mineral hints, layering, purity and seamlessness. Outstanding and just a little early.

My and most of the group’s WOTN. Struck match nose. Honeysuckle, lemon buscuit finish. A bit more refined and concentrated than the Folateries. Still seemed a bit young. 95

The nose is greeted by exquisite white peach fruit. There's a gentle squeeze of lemon too. In the mouth it is so silky. It has great volume and power without any weight. It builds in the glass and is a supremely classy wine that drives on and on.

Light to medium body, perfect balance and harmony. Very crisp and focused, with wonderful fruit and floral flavors and complexity into the long finish.
