1992 Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet Chardonnay

Reviews of 1992 Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet Chardonnay

97 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 1993
Millionaires should have fun debating whether the 1992 Batard-Montrachet or Chevalier-Montrachet is superior. The Batard is the more evolved and precocious of the two. Both are beautifully well-knit, expansively flavored, full-bodied, super-concentrated white burgundies that display honeyed, orange, roasted nut, overripe apple-scented noses, buttery, creamy textures, super extraction of flavor, and long finishes. The Batard exhibits more mineral scents in its nose and flavors, and is more upfront. The Chevalier-Montrachet appears to be holding more in reserve than the Batard. The Chevalier explodes on the back of the palate and looks to have greater longevity. The Domaine Leflaive has enjoyed many successful vintages over the years - 1979, 1985, 1986, and 1989 come to mind immediately - but the 1992s are the finest young wines this domaine has produced. Yields averaged 45 hectoliters per hectare, far below most recent vintages. The wines are renowned for their purity and elegance, but the 1992s also display a special level of richness and intensity. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Co., New York, NY.

Immensely pleasing and well crafted, boasting a silky texture and freshly cut mushroom, ripe pear and butter notes. Drink now or hold past 1996.
