2001 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Late Release: Grand Cru Case

The 2001 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Blanc 4.5L (OWC6 Late Release Case) captures the regal depth and crystalline cut of Puligny’s most refined Grand Cru. In particular, Bienvenues sits on fine clay-limestone soils directly adjacent to Bâtard-Montrachet, imparting unmatched floral lift and silkiness. In addition, pristine late-release cellar aging in the original wooden case has allowed this classic vintage to harmonize into golden tertiary splendor.

Tasting Notes for 2001 Leflaive Bienvenues Late Release Case

The wine opens with captivating aromas of ripe pear, lemon curd, white flowers, and crushed limestone. Furthermore, delicate notes of toasted hazelnut, brioche, and sea salt emerge with bottle maturity. On the palate, a dense, oily texture is energized by vibrant, chiseled natural acidity. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthcoating dry extract, flinty drive, and Grand Cru-level persistence.
