Batard Montrachet 1997 Domaine Leflaive

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Leflaive’s fabulous 1997 Batard-Montrachet offers super-ripe aromas of candied apples intermingled with minerals, chalk, sea salt, and racy lemons. This concentrated wine has awesome density, medium-to-full body, and layers of mouth-coating grilled almonds, citrus fruits, crisp pears, and toasted oak. Unlike most of the other 1997 Batards, it has exceptional balance, delineation, and class.

Beautiful harmony from start to finish. Layers of attractive smoke, honey and ripe fruit are kept in focus as the seduction wraps around the palate.
