The 1992 Batard-Montrachet exhibits a light golden color, a huge, honeyed, applebutter-scented bouquet, rich, ripe flavors, low acidity, and gobs of fruit, alcohol, and glycerin in the long, heady finish. This flamboyant wine should be drunk over the next 6-7 years.
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.
