Domaine LeFlaive Bourgogne Blanc 2013 (AM: 86-89)

Domaine Leflaive(俗稱公雞牌)可說是布爾岡白酒之王，投入絕大部分心思於Chardonnay上。位處Puligny-Montrachet，稱得上是Côte de Beaune最重要的酒莊。在當地出產四種Grand Cru及四種Premier Cru葡萄酒。
酒莊最重要的葡萄酒可說是Montrachet Grand Cru。除此之外，該酒莊在 Chevalier-Montrachet、Batard-Montrachet和Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet均擁有葡萄園，並各自出品特級葡萄酒(Grand Cru)。它的陳年頂級白酒身價越來越珍貴，而最貼地的Bourgogne Blanc亦有其出色之處，是認識這酒莊風格的最佳入門。

品酒筆記：
(Allen Meadows' rating: 86-89 points)
果香明亮，各種水果的香氣中，以柑橘及花香最為突出。酸度的活潑、鹹度的細緻和中等的酒體，帶來了檸檬味、乾淨和令人愉快的收結。可以陳放3-5年，它會是一支出色的餐酒。出類拔萃。(品飲於2015年)

Domaine Leflaive based in Puligny-Montrachet, is one of the most important producers in the Côte de Beaune. Focusing almost entirely on white wines made from Chardonnay, the Domaine makes four grand cru wines and four premier crus in Puligny-Montrachet.
Domaine Leflaive's most important wine is arguably the Montrachet Grand Cru. The domaine also has land in Chevalier-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet, and Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet, and makes a grand cru wine from each. Additional to this, there are several premier cru wines, the most important of which is probably the Les Clavoillon, which was one of the wines included in the 1976 Judgment of Paris.

Tasting Notes:
(Allen Meadows' rating: 86-89)
A bright and overtly fruity nose offers up various notes of white orchard fruit with top notes of citrus and floral nuances. There is outstanding vibrancy and detail to the saline and utterly delicious middle weight flavors that terminate in a lemony, clean and agreeably dry finale. This should easily reward at least 3 years of aging and perhaps as many as 5. This would make a great choice of a house white. Outstanding. (Tasted in 2015)
