2021 Domaine Leflaive Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, France 750ml

Note: from 3 different parcels, two on the Chassagne side and the third in the Puligny sector that is near the border dividing the two communes. Once again a subtle but not invisible application of wood frames cool and ripe aromas of green apple, acacia blossom, petrol and airy zest-tinged nuances. Interestingly, the middleweight flavors aren't quite as dense as those of the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet yet the intensity is even higher, indeed it's almost painful, while flashing impressive power on the gorgeously complex, sneaky long and equally well-balanced finale. This is also stunning but patience required.
