The Grand Cru vineyard Chevalier-Montrachet stretches across seven hectares of a hillside on the lower part of the Mont-Rachet hill. Marl and scree thinly cover the hill’s solid chalk bedrock, forcing Chardonnay into the rock. The best growths possess a unique presence, fineness and density.

The elegance of the wines produced in this old cultivated landscape in the heart of Europe is founded on its topographic, geological and climatic disposition. The Burgundy vineyards lie at an intersection: it is where the restrained warmth of the South meets the cool crispness of the North. Due to this, the grapes can develop complexity at full maturity and still don’t lose their natural freshness. This is not only true for the white Burgundy, grown from Chardonnay, but also the red Burgundy, made from Pinot noir. What makes Burgundy an exceptional wine-growing region, however, are the small, rural configurations that have caused generations of vintners to intensively grapple with the small parcels of vine-growing land in attempts to cultivate sublime wines. This continuity over centuries is brought to fruition in all of the finest Burgundy wines.

The 2007 Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet was rated 89 points by Robert Parker in 2009 and 90 points in a 2010 issue of Wine Spectator.

The fill levels are excellent (< 2 cm). The labels and capsules are in perfect condition.
