Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Domaine Leflaive 2012

HED82612 75cl 13%
Domaine Leflaive 2012 is a white Burgundy sourced from the prestigious Grand Cru of Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Leflaive, based in Puligny-Montrachet, has been a prominent name in Burgundy since its establishment in 1717, cultivating 22 hectares of vines, including five hectares of Grands Crus. This vintage displays complex layers of minerality, subtle oak influence and a distinctive richness. The wine is structured, showcasing notes of citrus and stone fruits, making it suitable for extended ageing, yet it remains relatively understated in the realm of Grand Crus.
(bottled two weeks before my visit): Pale yellow. Pure, subdued aromas of peach and menthol. Cool and youthfully streamlined, with lovely perfumed lift and cut to the sharply chiseled stone fruit, mineral and menthol flavors. Penetrating, young and very long, finishing with chewy stony grip. This will need at least six years in the cellar.

Domaine Leflaive

Domaine Leflaive

Founded in the 18th century, Domaine Leflaive has built a storied reputation for its commitment to biodynamic farming and exceptional craftsmanship. The estate owns 22 hectares of vineyards, including 10 hectares of Premiers Crus in Puligny-Montrachet (Les Combettes, Les Pucelles, Le Clavoillon, Les Folatières), as well as no fewer than 5 hectares of Grands Crus (Chevalier-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, and a tiny holding in Le Montrachet).

Joseph Leflaive, whose vision and dedication in the early 20th century were pivotal, transformed the domaine into a symbol of excellence. In the 1990s, Anne-Claude Leflaive introduced biodynamic practices, adhering to rigorous standards that respect the natural rhythms of the earth, promoting soil health and vine vitality without synthetic chemicals. This holistic approach results in Chardonnay wines celebrated for their purity, depth, and complexity. Each bottle reflects the rich heritage and innovative spirit that have made Domaine Leflaive a revered name among wine enthusiasts.
