Tasting note: This is notably riper and the nose plays right on the edge of a certain exoticism to the mostly yellow orchard fruit aromas that precede rich, round and mouth coating flavors that exude dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine on the lightly mineral-driven and acceptably complex finish. (89-91 pts. Burghound)

Tasting note: Bright yellow. Pineapple and honey on the nose and palate. A fleshy, rich fruit bomb in a distinctly fat, broad style. The pineapple flavor is firmed on the end by a citric quality but today this wine comes across as rather unrefined for a Leflaive premier cru. Made from big berries and well-aerated clusters, noted winemaker Remy, who said the pH of 3.3 was the highest among the 2009s. (90pts. Stephen Tanzer)
