Four beautiful wines from Leflaive are poured with the first course; a side-by-side comparison of the Chevalier and Bâtard across vintages 1996 and 2002. Leflaive’s 2002 Bâtard-Montrachet rounds out this flight in grand style. Seamless, opulent and totally voluptuous, the 2002 is impossible to resist. Layers of flavor build in the glass as this flamboyant Burgundy dazzles all the senses. This is a great showing from the 2002. Wow! On this night, the 2002 is absolutely stunning.
