Among Leflaive's grand crus, the 1992 Corton-Charlemagne boasts a big, ripe, pineapple, mineral-scented nose, long, rich, fabulous fruit, and a full-bodied, muscular, tight finish. This is one 1992 that will easily last for a decade.
This firm has dramatically improved the quality of its winemaking. Olivier Leflaive brought in the talented Frank Greux, and the quality of their wine since 1989 has gone from one strength to another. In 1992 several of the wines will be bottled unfiltered. With three consecutive good vintages, Olivier Leflaive is now a name to be considered seriously.
