Omschrijving
Domaine Leflaive is een van de meest prestigieuze wijnhuizen in Bourgogne, vooral bekend om zijn uitzonderlijke witte wijnen, gemaakt van Chardonnay-druiven. Gelegen in het dorp Puligny-Montrachet, in de Côte de Beaune, staat Domaine Leflaive bekend om zijn inzet voor biodynamische wijnbouw en de nadruk op het tot uiting brengen van het unieke terroir.
Bâtard-Montrachet is een van de meest gerenommeerde Grand Cru-wijngaarden in de Côte de Beaune, gelegen tussen de dorpen Puligny-Montrachet en Chassagne-Montrachet. De wijngaard deelt zijn naam en reputatie met de beroemde Le Montrachet en staat bekend om het voortbrengen van krachtige en complexe wijnen.
Het oogstjaar 2018 werd gekenmerkt door een warm en droog groeiseizoen, wat resulteerde in gezonde en perfect rijpe druiven. Deze omstandigheden leidden tot wijnen met geconcentreerde smaken en een evenwichtige zuurgraad.
Proefnotities 2018 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Kleur: Helder goudgeel.
Neus: Aroma's van perzik, appel, citroen en bakkerijspecerijen, met hints van witte bloemen en bijenwas.
Smaak: Vol en geconcentreerd, met smaken van rijp fruit, geroosterde amandelen en een vleugje vanille. De wijn is krachtig en elegant, met een zijdezachte textuur en een levendige zuurgraad die zorgt voor balans.
Afdronk: Lang en complex, met aanhoudende tonen van fruit en subtiele kruiden.
WEETJE: De wijn ligt in ons geconditioneerde Wine Warehouse en als u de wijn komt afhalen ontvangt u vaak ook nog een mooie korting. U ziet uw korting direct wanneer u kiest voor 'Afhalen' op de afrekenpagina. We zitten in Dordrecht met volop parkeergelegenheid. Klik hier voor ons adres.

Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a textural, elegantly muscular wine evocative of pear, toasted almonds, white flowers, peach and vanilla pod. Layered and powerful, it concludes with a long, saline finish. It's more dramatic and broader-shouldered than the suave, seamless Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet this year.
This year, I met with Brice de La Morandière and Pierre Vincent to taste not unfinished 2019s but rather the Domaine's 2018s from bottle—a change in the estate's policy that I warmly encourage and support—and I found the wines showing very well indeed. As I wrote last year, while many producers along the Côte de Beaune were inclined to accept the generous yields of the 2018 as nature's gift, arguing that Chardonnay can sustain an elevated crop without suffering dilution, de La Morandière and Vincent opted to perform an aggressive green harvest, jettisoning around 40% of the potential crop. "I'm glad we have something to show for it," remarked de La Morandière when I complimented the concentration of the domaine's Combettes. As usual, the wines fermented and matured in barrel before finishing their élevage in stainless steel tanks on the lees, and they were bottled under Diam with some 25 parts per million free sulfur dioxide. As is the case in Chardonnay along the Côte de Beaune in the 2018 vintage, the appellation hierarchy does make itself felt—I tend to think that low yields efface some of the disadvantages of humbler sites, whereas large crops exaggerate them—but the highest appellation bottlings here are really quite serious; and, having evoked the comparison with Leflaive's superb 1982 vintage when I tasted them from barrel last year, I continue to think that they will blossom beautifully with bottle age.

Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru – 2016 – Wine Spectator – 95 Points
Though rich, this white is also dense, giving a feeling of intensity to the white peach, citronella and pastry aromas and flavors. Well-proportioned, yet will require some time to really harmonize and reveal all its charms. Long, mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2032.

From: 2018 Burgundy: Confounded Expectations (Jan 2020)
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a touch more pungency compared to the Bienvenue, but perhaps not quite the same alluring charm, at least at this primordial stage. The palate is where it’s at: supremely well balanced, exuding a sense of coiled-up energy countered by a dense, persistent finish. A bit of a beast, but time will tame it.
- By Neal Martin on October 2019
I met proprietor Brice de la Morandière with winemaker Pierre Vincent , who joined in 2017 from Domaine de la Vougeraie, at their barrel cellar in Puligny-Montrachet. It was nice to return having not visited for a year or two. "It was a warm year," de la Morandière commented. "The crucial decision was that we green harvested all the vineyards in July, sometimes up to 40% of the bunches. I know that this is considered a sin in Puligny-Montrachet, but the fact is that we had two or three times more bunches than we needed. This risked us losing concentration. We commenced the harvest on 26 August and finished on September, the Mâcon-Verze picked from 3 to 10 September. In the end, we found that the balance was good in terms of alcohol and acidity." I was pleased to taste Leflaive's Mâconnais wines - they are often overshadowed by their Pulignys and might well constitute their best values. The standout for me was their stunning Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes, in no small part since it was affected by millerandage and this naturally seems to have concentrated the wine. Among the Grand Crus, the Chevalier-Montrachet predictably has the edge, though do not overlook their rather splendid Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet.
