2005 Bienvenues Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Domaine Leflaive
75cl / 14%
A bottle of 2005 Bienvenues Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine Leflaive.
'....from 45+ year old vines, which are the oldest vines of the Domaine) Aromatically this is quite similar to the Pucelles with its lovely blend of honeysuckle and exotic fruit hints save for a bit more depth that is found here followed by rich, pure, energetic and almost painfully intense flavors that explode on the wonderfully long and punchy finish that is pure class. Along with the superb 2004, this is the best example of Leflaive BBM since 1985. 94/100' Allen Meadows, Burghound, 2008
