The impressive 1992 Criots Batard-Montrachet displays a bouquet of overripe cherries, oranges, and buttery popcorn intertwined with aromas of sweet, smoky new oak. Rich and full-bodied, with layers of flavor, this superb wine is thick, heavy, and rich. It possesses enough acidity to provide freshness. Drink it over the next 7-9 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.
