Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2010

Domaine Leflaive’s Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2010 is a benchmark white Burgundy, combining precision, depth, and remarkable elegance. From one of the Côte de Beaune’s most revered Grand Cru sites, this Chardonnay reflects both the domaine’s uncompromising craftsmanship and the historic prestige of Chevalier-Montrachet.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a brilliant golden hue with striking clarity. The bouquet is refined and layered, unfolding with white flowers, lemon zest, green apple, and pear, alongside subtle notes of toasted almond, butter, and vanilla from fine oak aging. The palate is beautifully structured and deeply expressive, beginning with fresh citrus energy before revealing honey, hazelnut, and a delicate brioche character. Its texture is silky yet lifted by electric acidity, while a chalky, smoky mineral line carries through the finish. Built for the long haul, this wine has exceptional aging potential and can develop for decades, gaining even more complexity and nuance over time.

Production
Chevalier-Montrachet lies high on the slope above Bâtard-Montrachet and Montrachet, where the elevated exposure and limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine’s vivid acidity, minerality, and tension. Domaine Leflaive farms this revered site with a focus on precision and respect for terroir, harvesting the Chardonnay by hand at optimal ripeness before vinifying with careful oak maturation to preserve the vineyard’s purity and structure.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for refined dishes that match its elegance and intensity, such as lobster, scallops, or truffle risotto. Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 12–14°C, and consider decanting young bottles briefly to allow the aromatics and texture to open fully.
