Neal Martin, December 2014, Score: 94-96/100
The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru put its “mineral credentials” straight in front of you: cold wet limestone. It takes you straight down to the bedrock: very precise, tightly wound at first and then opening with continued aeration. The palate is taut and linear on the entry, a very “correct” Chevalier-Montrachet that is driven along by the acidic line and then fans out gloriously toward the finish. This is a very “complete” Grand Cru, but it will require several years in the cellar. Sublime. Drink: 2020 - 2040. 94-96/100

"One of the greatest white wine domaines in Burgundy" remarked Clive Coates. Doamine Leflaive's vineyards in Puligny Montrachet are steeped in history and the current generation can look back to 1717 for the first Leflaive family occupation of the farm buildings that they use today. The domaine was founded by Joseph Leflaive, who came to Burgundy in 1905. Anne-Claude Leflaive, the granddaughter of Joseph was appointed to run the domaine in 1990. A fervent proponent of biodynamic viticulture, Anne-Claude converted the domaine to biodynamics. After her untimely death in 2015, Brice de La Morandiere's, Anne-Claude's nephew and great grand son of Joseph Leflaive took on the mantle. He upholds the terroir-orientated, sustainable winemaking philosophy of the family.Read less

Region
Chevalier Montrachet
Chevalier-Montrachet is a tiny Grand Cru appellation for white wine situated on the stony slopes just above Le Montrachet towards the southern end of the Cote d'Or. The wines are exceptional, if slightly lighter in style than their neighbour down the hill.
