The Leflaive team now plough this vineyard by horse rather than tractor. As well as the more typical white fruit flavours there is a touch of mintiness here as well, a sign of extreme youth. This will be best from 2010.

Here too there is very subtle wood highlighting an airy, ripe and expressive nose featuring orchard fruit and citrus blossom aromas and continues onto the detailed, punchy and admirably vibrant medium-bodied flavors that finish with moderate dryness and very good length. Again, fine quality here but not up to that of the 2005.

"Herbily scented with a hint of spring flowers and oil. Massive concentration. Really exciting already yet with lots more still to give. Anyone who bought this should be very pleased with themselves. One of the most difficult wines to spit of the entire 2006 tasting."
