Chevalier-Montrachet, 1993, Domaine Leflaive

Radiant and beautifully clear greengolden colour. Same intense mineralness in the nose as I remembered from the 1991. This wine clearly with more acidity, much adding to the definition of the wine. Well enough stuffings to last and outlive the acidity. Needs time though. In vintages like this the various terroirs of Leflaive wines shine through very beautifully. An experience not easily forgotten. The terroir of the wine stayed in the mouth for nearly ten minutes...

Tasted June 1996 at a Leflaive/Lafon tasting at Amstel Hotel..
