"Like the Bâtard, here the nose is quite restrained but exceptionally elegant and pure with white flower, green apple, pear and wet stone where the latter element continues onto the rich, full and highly energetic flavors that tighten up considerably on the detailed, minerally and bone dry finish that displays distinct citrus mineral nuances. This is long, tight and linear with huge amounts of dry extract that renders the very firm acid spine almost invisible at present though the finish is clearly shaped by it."

Leflaive's 2008 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with aromas of honeycomb, citrus oil, toasted bread, mandarin, smoke and iodine. On the palate, it's full-bodied, satiny and layered, with excellent depth at the core, chewy extract and a racy spine of acidity, concluding with a pure and penetrating finish. - WA
