Montrachet (OWC of 1 bt.)

1993 Montrachet Grand Cru, Domaine Leflaive The Terroir: Leflaive owns 0.08ha of Montrachet, which generally yields about 300 bottles. This single parcel, believed to have been planted in the 1950s, lies within the Chassagne-Montrachet sector, very close to the lane that separates Le Montrachet from Bâtard-Montrachet. The Wine: After careful sorting in the vineyard, the wine was pressed in pneumatic presses, then fermented in a single new barrel, with regular stirring of the lees until the end of the year. The wine was then aged for a total of one year in the same barrel, before being decanted into a stainless steel vat for the second winter. "93 points" Allen Meadows - Burghound: Superbly complex and elegant fruit that is now displaying plenty of secondary development and leads to fat, forward yet stunningly detailed flavors that benefit from excellent acidity and cut plus a really impressive finish. Approachable now but certainly capable of holding further. Beautiful and classy juice. Consistent notes.
