Written Notes

A sublime expression of Chardonnay, the 2000 Domaine Leflaive Montrachet radiates with opulence and finesse. The bouquet unfolds with layers of golden apple, ripe pear, and tropical pineapple, intertwined with notes of citrus blossom, acacia honey, and a subtle hint of vanilla spice. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, yet impeccably balanced, showcasing a luscious texture that carries flavors of lemon curd, toasted almond, and a touch of buttery brioche. The underlying minerality is profound, echoing with whispers of wet stone and sea spray, adding depth and complexity. The finish is extraordinarily long and harmonious, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and grandeur. A monumental wine that epitomizes the pinnacle of Burgundy's terroir.
