MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE
“Chassagne-Montrachet” Vieilles Vignes 2014
MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE
This Chassagne has luscious citrus notes and orange-blossom scents that read clean and clear. Its richness feels dynamic, cooled by smoky mineral notes, lasting on savory lemon-custard richness. You could drink it now and enjoy the beautiful texture, or cellar it for a year or two and see what it will become.

“Puligny-Montrachet” Vieilles Vignes 2014
MAISON ROCHE DE BELLENE
The Wine comes from vines up to 62-years-old, that are rich in opulent fruitiness which is shot through with acidity. Wood aging has added a toasty character without losing any sight of the fruit. It is a fine Wine that should age further.

Batard Montrachet 2013
Domaine Leflaive
Here the nose is restrained to the point of being all but mute and only aggressive swirling coaxes the grudging aromas of pear, white peach, apricot, acacia blossom and discreet menthol nuances. As is usually the case there is more size, weight and muscle to the medium weight plus flavors that possess a hint of bitter lemon on the massively long finish. What I find interesting about the 2013 Bâtard is not only that it is more elegant then usual but also that it manages to deliver so much volume and power without any appreciable weight. In a word, brilliant.

Batard Montrachet 2014
Domaine Leflaive
Bright, pale yellow. Deeply pitched, slightly reduced aromas of stone fruits, pineapple and honey. Fatter and sweeter than the Bienvenue, then broader and more powerful on the back half, showing a ripe pineapple character but coming across as bone-dry. Less harmonious than the Bienvenue and a bit more phenolic on the back end.

Batard Montrachet 2017
Domaine Leflaive
Divided into three separate parcels, two in Puligny and one in Chassagne, the Leflaive holdings in Bâtard amount to a more than satisfactory 1.5ha. Rich, concentrated and well upholstered, this is a plush, dense, palate-coating white that flirts with exotic fruit but finishes with focussed, chalky minerality.

The nose is a little austere at first, but it unfolds nicely with impressive mineral (slate and flint) scents, well defined and poised. The palate is well balanced with a keen thread of acidity. There is a bright citric heart to this Bâtard-Montrachet with fleeting touches of nectarine and citrus lemon joining the edgy mineral finish.

Mild reduction knocks down the nose but it seems reasonably clear that the underlying fruit is ripe. What immediately impresses about the broad-shouldered flavors is how fine they are which is not always the case with the typical Bâtard. This refinement only adds to the seductive palate feel of the extremely rich yet precisely focused, intense and strikingly long finish. 2012 should be a terrific vintage for this storied Wine though note that plenty of patience will be required as I doubt that this will drink especially well young.

Domaine Leflaive
This is aromatically both more elegant and more complex than the Combettes with its beautiful range of citrus, honeysuckle, pear and an appealing hint of tangerine peel. There is stunningly good purity of expression to the cool, restrained and understated medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also serves to buffer the suave yet detailed finale that delivers seriously impressive length. The words 'pure class' aptly describe this beautifully balanced and age-worthy effort.

Bright, pale yellow. Deeply pitched, slightly reduced aromas of stone fruits, pineapple and honey. Fatter and sweeter than the Bienvenue, then broader and more powerful on the back half, showing a ripe pineapple character but coming across as bone-dry. Less harmonious than the Bienvenue and a bit more phenolic on the back end. This Wine will need a good seven or eight years of cellaring.

Domaine Leflaive
Bright, pale yellow. Deeply pitched aromas of mirabelle and white flowers. Broad, classically dry and utterly fine-grained, showing lovely inner-mouth floral perfume. Finishes with rising length and a slightly phenolic quality, leaving behind musky and resiny suggestions. Outstanding potential here.

Bienvenues Batard Montrachet 2017
Domaine Leflaive
Ripe yellow stone fruits and hazelnut on the nose. Dense, sappy and quite dry, with its rather bracing acidity (at the high end for these '17s) giving the saline middle palate outstanding precision. This very tight Wine is not yet displaying grand cru weight or palate presence but it spreads out and vibrates on the very long, pure, slowly building back end. This was the first '17 to finish both its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, which may explain its peacock's tail of a finish.

Great success in 2016, our Clous Aimé 2016 is powerful, dense with a soft and floral touch on the palate at the same time. A Wine of pleasure, without complexity and very attractive. No need to think about it, it simply must be drunk.
