Reviews & Scores
All of Domaine Leflaive's 2004s were heavily reduced out of the gates...and the 2004 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is still quite strongly marked by the toasty aromas of reduction, offering up notes of grilled bread, pear, dried white flowers, honeycomb and iodine. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and textural, with a bright spine of acidity and a tight-knit, compact profile that's still quite firm and unyielding, with good concentration and a somewhat mordant, delicately herbaceous finish.

This is almost as backward as the Bienvenues though supremely elegant white flower and subtle spice aromas peek through the moderate reduction yet the piercingly mineral flavors display a beguiling sweetness on the crystalline and incredibly precise finish that seems to have no end. This will be a great wine in time as it's clear that there is another dimension here compared to all of the previous wines. - BH

The oak is a bit flashy now, but there's plenty of substance underneath in this powerful, seductive white. Apple, citronella, hazelnut, smoky spices and mineral aromas and flavors mingle with the bright structure. Concentrated yet balanced, with a creamy texture and a long, racy finish. - WS

Normally there is a rather noticeable qualitative gap between the Bâtard- Montrachet and the Chevalier, but in 2004 the superb quality of the Bâtard-Montrachet makes these two quite close. The nose on the ’04 Chevalier is deep and outstanding, wafting from the glass in a young blend of grapefruit, pear, floral tones, Chevalier’s striking chalky minerality, and a moderate framing of new oak (more vanilla than toast, but there is some toast as well). On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and aristocratic, with perhaps just a tad more stuffing in the mid-palate than the outstanding Bâtard-Montrachet, and great length, grip and snap on the long finish. I love the acidity in the 2004 Chevalier, which adds a purity, focus and lift to all of the components. Another great Leflaive in the making. - JG
