Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet(1995)

Long, gentle pneumatic pressing, decanting over 24h, thenracking and running into cask of the must.

Maturing: After 12 months in cask, the wine is aged 6 months in tank where it is for bottling.
Homeopathic fining and very light filtering if necessary

Biodynamic
Manual harvesting with grape sorting and optimisation of choice of date through parcel-by-parcel ripeness monitoring

Elegance personified with a wonderfully penetrating nose of knife-like delineation that offers white flowers, hazelnut and anise notes followed by precise, rich flavors dripping with minerality and breath taking intensity. The intensity builds from the mid-palate and continues on to the long, dynamic, beautifully balanced finish. A knockout Chevalier with excellent density.
