The 2006 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru was produced from a single 1.15-hectare parcel planted in 1958. All fruit was manually harvested before fermentation in 25% new oak casks and maturation in cask for 12 months. From a serially underrated Burgundy vintage, Allen Meadows of Burghound scored this 91-94 points.

Founded in the 18th century, Domaine Leflaive has built a storied reputation for its commitment to biodynamic farming and exceptional craftsmanship.

This holistic approach results in Chardonnay wines celebrated for their purity, depth, and complexity.
