Leflaive's admirable 1998 Montrachet exhibits complex mineral and white fruit aromas. This medium to full bodied, deep, fat, and rich wine is velvety-textured, concentrated, and elegant. Ripe pears, stones, and hints of grilled oak can be found throughout its symmetrical personality and long, lush finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2007+.
