Batard Montrachet Domaine Leflaive 2010

Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet 2010 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru vineyard of Bâtard-Montrachet in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation of the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Leflaive is quite simply the most illustrious address in Puligny-Montrachet. Leflaive`s Grands Crus can be powerful yet austere when young and often require 10 to 15 years of ageing to show their true colours. The domaine has been certified biodynamic since 1997. "The 2010 Batard-Montrachet covers every inch of the palate with fruit. In 2010, the Batard is towering, statuesque and simply impeccable. Today the aromas and flavours are not at all developed, rather the wine is really all about textural elegance and finesse, and there is plenty of that here. A huge, explosive finish rounds things out in style. The Batard is a wine of contrasts. At times it is quite bold and extroverted, at others it possesses admirable restraint. Either way, it is magnificent." Antonio Galloni, 2012
