Solid non-oaked though high minerality Chardonnay. This was the perfect start to a great dinner at Botanist; so great we ordered a second bottle. The perfect kick-off to Jessica's 40th — 8 years ago

Love this wine...a tiny parcel, close to be exact is one of our favorites from Olivier Leflaive. 2010 vintage with honey suckle notes. Several years in this excellent 1er cru!! Still bright acid. Bob’s “house wine”... he wishes! — 6 years ago

Tasted over three days. The wine would rarely show its true nobility and Magic. This is only the second time that I have ever tasted Montrachet and the first time was a 2005. I felt the same about the other one that I tasted that both of these wines were not giving themselves up very easily. Both stuck to a very strong dense lemon oil and garlic type of character long mineral finish obvious stony Ness but not put together like the few flashes and moments that it would give off of just pure royalty and striking beauty. Not sure what is happening here maybe drinking them too young or just not enough energy present to coax out the magic. Good nonetheless but not $500 good. Would not spend the money again currently. — 6 years ago
Lovely pale straw colour. Fresh, citrus nose. Pineapple, a touch of oak and vanilla on the plate, with a long buttery acidy finish. An excellent wine, typical modern and impeccably-executed — at NOA, Tallinn — 6 years ago
Leflaive. What can you say? It was tasty - I am partial to Meursault. Acidic in a good way. Biggest issue was lacking finish. — 10 years ago

Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep yellow with a transparent core and medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of mixed orchard fruits, white flowers, undigested hay, honey and minerals. A touch wooly. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+ and the texture is waxy. Initial conclusions: this could be Chenin Blanc, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc or potentially Viura and even Chardonnay from France, Spain or the USA. However, this is made in a more oxidative style and it’s really hard to take this anywhere but France…maybe Spain if this were Rioja Blanco. But that wooly quality and texture has me in the Loire Valley. Final conclusion: Chenin Blanc from France, Loire Valley, Savennières with 5-10 years of age. Pretty darned close! Scoring points for sure. I gotta say, this almost gave me Joly vibes. Fun stuff. Drink now through 2032. — 8 months ago
