Leflaive 2019 Batard   

2019 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru     
Vinous 96 Points
The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru shows a little more clarity, a touch more crystalline on the nose compared to the Bienvenue, scents of Granny Smith apples, petrichor and gunflint. It is controlled and penetrating. The palate is extremely well balanced with a fine silver bead of acidity that cuts through the concentrated malic fruit, a dash of pepper towards the finish that fans out gloriously, sour lemon and grapefruit lingering on the aftertaste. Wonderful. Drink 2025 - 2055. Neal Martin Dec 2021
