Leflaive's 1992 Montrachet (only their second vintage) is a candidate for the Montrachet of the vintage. Only 25 cases were produced. The quintessential Chardonnay, it is an awesomely rich, highly extracted wine oozing with flavor, yet it is marvelously precise and focused. A mammoth-sized wine, it should drink well for 15 or more years. The Domaine Leflaive has enjoyed many successful vintages over the years - 1979, 1985, 1986, and 1989 come to mind immediately - but the 1992s are the finest young wines this domaine has produced. Yields averaged 45 hectoliters per hectare, far below most recent vintages. The wines are renowned for their purity and elegance, but the 1992s also display a special level of richness and intensity.
