Olivier Leflaive 2006 Bâtard-Montrachet

Country: France /
Variety: Chardonnay Burgundy
Winery: Olivier Leflaive / Bâtard-Montrachet

This is a bright star in Olivier Leflaive’s firmament, a wondrous big, rich wine that is just so finely poised. The structure is dense, rich, fat and full-bodied, a hymn to ripe fruit. Flavors are fruit-driven at this stage, but this is a wine that will develop over many years, if you can resist the urge to indulge its luxuriant tastes now.
