Les Pucelles 2000 from Domaine Leflaive is a very charming wine. Two bottles were served, on from a very cold cellar, and one from a slightly warmer cellar. Both were quite open and mature, with a wonderful charming personality. It's quite a soft vintage, but still this wine has a good minerality …

Domaine Leflaive, Chevalier Montrachet 1997
