A consignor who began collecting wine over 20 years ago while living in Australia, sparked by a deep fascination with how grape varieties, regions, and vintages evolve over time. His primary focus has long been Burgundy, a region he has visited on several occasions to explore vineyards, meet producers, and taste wines directly from the barrel in historic cellars. For him, the true beauty of Burgundy lies in how different domaines craft distinct personalities from the exact same terroir. Every bottle in this consignment was purchased directly through licensed Canadian wine importers via regular annual allocations, with all applicable taxes paid and full purchase records available to confirm provenance. Immediately following acquisition, the wines were transported directly to Fine Wine Reserve (FWR) for climate-controlled professional storage, where they remained undisturbed until being transferred directly to Iron Gate Auctions' Toronto location.
2021 Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Vinous 96 points, Wine Spectator 96 points, BurgHound.com 95 points, CellarTracker 95 points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy 95 points. This is the tasting note for 2021 Domaine Leflaive Batard Montrachet Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - Note - from 3 different parcels, two on the Chassagne side and the third in the Puligny sector that is near the border dividing the two communes. Once again a subtle but not invisible application of wood frames cool and ripe aromas of green apple, acacia blossom, petrol and airy zest-tinged nuances. Interestingly, the middleweight flavors aren't quite as dense as those of the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet yet the intensity is even higher, indeed it's almost painful, while flashing impressive power on the gorgeously complex, sneaky long and equally well-balanced finale. This is also stunning but patience required. *Burghound Don't Miss!*.
