Tasting notes
The Domaine Leflaive has enjoyed many successful vintages over the years - 1979, 1985, 1986, and 1989 come to mind immediately - but the 1992s are the finest young wines this domaine has produced. Yields averaged 45 hectoliters per hectare, far below most recent vintages. The wines are renowned for their purity and elegance, but the 1992s also display a special level of richness and intensity. The 1992 Puligny-Montrachet exhibits a deep, apple/buttery/lemony-scented nose, great fruit and finesse, medium body, a honeyed richness, and lively acidity. It should drink well for 6-7 years. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Co., New York, NY.
