{"product_id":"leflaive-batard-montrachet-grand-cru-2023","title":"Leflaive Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Grand Cru is split between Chassagne (over 5ha) and Puligny (over 3ha) and is located just below the Montrachet. While the terroir is seen as being the same, the difference is in the soil. The Batard’s tend to be heavier and deeper, especially at the bottom of the plot where the waterbed will be closer to the surface. The wines show this by being richer and more intense than the surrounding Grands Crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a little more intensity on the nose than the Bienvenue with touches of struck flint, cold stone and light Granny Smith scents that are tightly coiled and unfold with aeration. The palate is crisp and taut, much more mineral-driven than the Bienvenue with a really complex and persistent finish that is a joy to behold. This riveted me to the spot, and is one of the finest expressions of this holding that I have encountered in over 25 years of tasting at Leflaive. \u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin – Vinous, May 2025, 98 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaut and intense, featuring lime blossom, citronella, oyster shell, hazelnut, vanilla and pastry aromas and flavors, this white is driven by its laserlike acidity. Balanced, with a seemingly endless finish that echoes the complex flavors and leaves you wanting more. Best from 2028 through 2037. \u003cstrong\u003eBruce Sanderson – Wine Spectator, 5 Nov 2025, 98 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Leflaive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51650249457985,"sku":"BU01009","price":3595.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/sedimentary.au\/products\/leflaive-batard-montrachet-grand-cru-2023","provider":"Sedimentary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
