Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru — 2018 – Vinous – 95-97 Points
95-97 Points points
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a touch more pungency compared to the Bienvenue, but perhaps not quite the same alluring charm, at least at this primordial stage. The palate is where it’s at: supremely well balanced, exuding a sense of coiled-up energy countered by a dense, persistent finish. A bit of a beast, but time will tame it. Drink 2022 – 2050.
