2014 Olivier Leflaive, Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 1x750ml

Robert Parker 94

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a very elegant and delineated bouquet with beautifully integrated oak that marries with the bright citrus fruit, green apple and gunflint aromas. The palate is very well balanced on the entry, with a little fatness at first thanks to the oak; though it is conspicuous at the moment, it enhances this wine, and there is great precision on the finish. It clearly needs several years in bottle. This is an outstanding wine from Olivier Leflaive. [Neal Martin, 27/08/2017]
