The 1992 Montrachet does not have the depth of the Criots Batard or Chevalier-Montrachet. Its mineral, orange and honeysuckle-scented nose, medium to full body, crisp acidity, and tightly knit framework make it an outstanding wine, but it is eclipsed in richness, power, intensity, and complexity by the Chevalier-Montrachet, Criots Batard-Montrachet, Batard-Montrachet, and Corton-Charlemagne.
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.
