WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a highly sought-after white wine produced by Domaine Leflaive, a renowned winery in Burgundy, France. The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru appellation, which is known for its steep slopes and limestone-rich soil. The vineyard's unique terroir gives the wine its distinct minerality and complexity. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant, with a rich and creamy texture, balanced acidity, and flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and hazelnut. It is a perfect example of the high-quality white wines that Burgundy is famous for.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This is a complex and powerful white Burgundy from Domaine Leflaive.With aromas of honey, grapefruit, and white flowers, the wine is full-bodied and vibrant on the palate. It gives off a creamy texture, with flavors of citrus, white peach, and minerals. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of almond and forest floor. Overall, this is a grand cru of remarkable depth and complexity.
