Chevalier Montrachet 2007 Domaine Leflaive

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (95)

Pungent, high-toned herbal essences, heliotrope, narcissus, and lily in the nose of Leflaive’s 2007 Chevalier-Montrachet lead to a palate of formidable richness and ripeness of peach, pear, and cantaloupe with liquid floral essences allied to palpable chalkiness and creating a vibratory intensity of fruit, floral, herbal, and mineral interchange. Citrus zest, white pepper, and brown spices add invigoration and palate-staining intensity to a finish of lift and energy. The combination here of an extremely ripe and suggestively sweet personality given the vintage with buoyancy and multifaceted minerality is remarkable and the wine’s sheer length sensational. In 2006 this wine went beyond its vintage’s norms in energy, clarity, and minerality; and in 2007 it goes beyond vintage norms in sheer ripeness and richness. This should be worth following for 10-12 years.

Broad yet incisive, this white features lime, apple, white peach and mineral flavors that are matched to a vibrant frame. There's intensity and grip, gaining elegance and expanding on the palate, with a long, mouthwatering finish.
