Reading through, I realize I never gave my tasting notes on the 2005 Domaine Leflaive Burgundies I tasted before I left!!!! And let that be a lesson to you!
The 2005 Bourgogne Blanc is simply stunning... who know that BB could be so delicious??? It needs time!!! Give it 2 or 3 years and come back and visit the stony, honeyed elegance at a song of a price. The 2005 Puligny-Montrachet "Pucelles" in a racy and stunning with mind-blowing minerality and intense, tightly-wound stone fruits with honeysuckle... This is really, really, good. The 2005 Puligny-Montrachet "Clavoillon" is even more tightly-wound, with honeyed apples, and steely - teeth-gripping minerals... intense. Give it 7-15 years. The star of the show was the 2005 Batard-Montrachet. Fat, rich and powerful, this wine need 10-25 years to show. So tightly wound, but pack with fruit and minerals and a perfect balance of acidity and alcohol, this could be a stunner when it finally matures next decade...
Without question, the greatest white-wine estate in the world (IMHO, better than Coch-Dury, Leroy, and Zind-Humbrecht).
