“Intense and expressive, this white features apricot, peach, briny mineral and pastry flavors. Balanced and supple, with a firm line of acidity for structure. It all comes together nicely on the lengthy finish.”

“This white is harmonious and creamy in texture, featuring floral, peach, apple tart and lemon cake flavors, all buoyed by vibrant acidity. The oak treatment is subtle, with flashes of baking spices, and this ends with fine length.”

“A taut, vibrant white, this offers notes of lemon, white flowers and green apple, with a hint of mint. Defined by its vivid acidity, this remains focused and persistent through the lemony finish.”

“Though creamy in texture, this white is also lithe and well-delineated, courtesy of its lively acidity. Peach, apple and floral flavors abound, while flashes of butterscotch and pastry accents linger.”

“Nicely framed with toasty oak and pastry accents, this rich white exhibits peach, apple tart and grapefruit flavors. An underlying mineral element emerges as this plays out on the finish.”

“The most ethereal as well as the most elegant of Leflaive's whites is the 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, a deep, full-bodied wine redolent of white flowers, sweet citrus oil, bread dough, iodine, fresh mint and wet stones. Satiny, layered and incisive, with lovely depth and purity, it's taut and electric, concluding with a long, chalky finish.”

“The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru if the most sensual wine in the range, bursting with aromas of confit citrus, pear and white flowers mingled with notions of praline and freshly baked bread. Full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's the most unctuous, enveloping and rich of Leflaive's whites this year, concluding with a long, expansive finish.”

“The 2021 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is attractive, unwinding in the glass to reveal aromas of honeyed pears, white flowers, toasted hazelnuts and drawn butter, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered palate with good depth at the core and the same impression of chalky structuring extract that characterizes the domaine's Pucelles this year.”

“Aromas of citrus zest, green apple, hazelnuts and fresh mint introduce Leflaive's 2021 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane, a medium to full-bodied, taut and electric wine with a satiny attack that segues into a palate built around tangy acids. This parcel, formerly planted to red, abuts Pierre Morey's Meursault Perrières, and the soils are very stony.”

“The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon is youthfully reserved, unwinding in the glass with aromas of pear and green apple mingled with toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and iodine. Medium-bodied, tangy and electric, with racy acids and a searingly saline finish, it will age with grace.”

“Unwinding in the glass with aromas of mandarin, buttered toast, clear honey, toasted nuts and youthful reduction, Leflaive's 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles is medium to full-bodied, layered and chalky, with a dense core of fruit and impressive structuring extract. This is built for the cellar.”

“The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes is another impressive wine in a succession of hits for this premier cru chez Leflaive, where old vines on the cusp of being ripped up have been rehabilitated into more regular production. Opening in the glass with a reductive bouquet of ripe citrus fruit, iodine, dried white flowers and mint, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with lovely depth and texture to match the cut and tension of the vintage.”

“Aromas of white flowers, lemon oil, freshly baked bread, baking spices, toasted nuts and crushed mint introduce Leflaive's 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's suave and seamless, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, tangy finish.”

"A sophisticated white hallmarked by lemon, butterscotch, peach, hazelnut and chalky dust aromas and flavors. Supple, yet not creamy, with a stony edge working the long, spice-tinged aftertaste."

"Intense, with lemon curd, vanilla and baking spice aromas and flavors. Ripe and toasty as this plays out on the finish, where a mineral element peeks through. Slightly reserved, yet long."

"The 2021 Bourgogne Blanc has a focused bouquet with citrus peel, grass clippings and marine influences. The palate is well-balanced and simple with fine acidity, moderate length and cooking apple on the finish. Fine.”

"The 2021 Meursault Sous Le Dos d'Ane has a clean, pure bouquet with touches of hazelnut and crushed stone, gaining intensity in the glass. The palate has bitter lemon on the entry, orange rind and moderate depth. Quite linear in style with a Puligny-like finish. Strict!”

"The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru has a very fine bouquet with dew-speckled green apples, petrichor and lime gradually unfolding in the glass. The palate is well-balanced with an almost piercing line of acidity, yet it remains very well-balanced with ample weight on the sapid finish. Very fine.”

"The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru has a very old-school nose: shucked oyster shell and sea spray here, touches of petrichor. It's backward for now, but there is clearly a lot of intensity here. The palate is well-balanced with a killer line of acidity, linear and focused with a touch of lime and grapefruit towards the sustained finish. Superb.”
