Higher Score than Le Montrachet, Domaine Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 2009
One of our constant favourites of Chardonnay producers from Burgundy and for many others around the world too! Domaine Leflaive has been an eminent winemaker which continuously produces astounding Chardonnay from Puligny-Montrachet for many decades. White Burgundy from Domaine Leflaive stands out as being the best in the world of wines. Madame Anne-Claude Leflaive built a strong reputation for the label under her careful and special attention in the vineyard. She made some of the most fruit-forward and terroir-expressive wines that are worthy to be added to every wine collector's cellar after she took over from her father in 1994. Sadly Anne-Claude passed away in 2015. However, Brice de La Morandiere, Anne-Claude's nephew and Joseph Leflaive, the founder,’s great grandson, took over and has been carrying on with the same family philosophy of respect for the great ''terroirs’’ since. Humility towards the forces of nature and rigorous relentlessly help in pursuit of excellence in wine making.
The Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 2009 is one of the legends in the decade. Uncommonly, the Chevalier Montrachet received a competent score against Le Montrachet. We have been lucky to secure 3 pristine bottles so do let us know if you are interested so that we will follow up with photos with you -

96pts Allen Meadows
An ultra-pure and high-toned nose of mineral-based reduction, spiced pear and acacia blossom gives way to overtly stony and quite finely detailed broad-shouldered flavors that despite their significant size and weight, are crystalline in their transparency. This very much seems to be built on a base of liquid limestone with impeccable balance and flat out stunning persistence. This is a "wow" wine of both volume and finesse that will definitely age as the acid support is very firm, particularly for the vintage, in fact the intensity of the finish is almost painful.
