Our friends surprised us by bringing over this 2009 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes as a beginning to one of our get togethers. They brought some welcomed cheer and warmth to an unusually snowy February. They also brought the accompaniments, two soft cheeses, a La Tur and a Jean Perrin Fromager Des Clarines served at room temperature, they were perfectly gooey and runny. These cheeses were the right pairing to showcase the Leflaive which was pale lemon yellow in color. Every sip brought a new sensation, now green apples, now honey lemon, now showing minerality and acidity and having a lingering mouthfeel. I wanted to make the experience last as long as I could, savoring each sip. Time passed and so did the last drop of this incomparable expression of Chardonnay.
