Description
Chevalier Montrachet 2010
Domaine Leflaive
Côte de Beaune, Grand Cru
Grapefruit and power, although not as 'fat' as the Bâtard. The power comes through the fullness of flavour and has a lovely 'floaty' character to it. This is great wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Sotheby’s Wine is proud to offer this stunning collection of some of the greatest and most sought-after Burgundy and Rhône Domaines. All these wines were amassed by a discerning and passionate collector and were sourced directly from the Domaines. The vast majority are offered in their original cartons or original wooden cases, stored and showcased in a European state-of-the-art cellar. This section opens with one of the most prestigious Domaines in Rhône, the magnificent Château Rayas. With the sheer scale of what is on offer, and considering the limited production, this is a sale to excite all knowledgeable wine lovers with the entire range of wines produced by the Reynaud family from the iconic Château Rayas to both Châteaux Fonsalette and Les Tours. Burgundy is King with a selection of red and white from both Maison and Domaine Leroy - arguably producing the greatest red Burgundy on the Cote d`Or at present. To follow is the great Domaine Leflaive, the most famous Estate in Puligny-Montrachet with a splendid selection of some of the best vintages produced recently, including a large offering of the Grands Crus, with a focus on Chevalier Montrachet, Bâtard Montrachet and a rare bottle of Montrachet 2010 to full cases of the Premier Crus including a 12 bottle case of Les Pucelles 2010. All these bottles are straight from the Domaines with consecutive numbers. Finally, we close this collection with ultra-rare and rarely seen magnums of Jayer-Gilles. This collection is a pleasure for discerning palates.
