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 Chevalier 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 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - Here the almost unbelievably complex nose is more restrained than that of the Bâtard with its pure aromas of lilac, rose petal, lavender, spiced pear, exotic tea and lemon confit. There is excellent richness and outstanding volume to the wonderfully textured and highly sophisticated flavors that are also blessed with an abundance of dry extract that buffers the very firm acid backbone on the explosively long and palate staining finish where the minerality is so prominent that it's like rolling small rocks around the mouth. This beautifully balanced and focused effort is potentially one of the genuinely great examples of the Leflaive Chevalier, which given the absolutely stellar track record of one of Burgundy's most iconic white wines, is really saying something. If you can find it, don't hesitate though note well that patience is be firm necessity. *Burghound Don't Miss!*.
