For the 2004 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, we recommend serving it chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). This wine is mature and likely at its peak, with an optimal drink window from 2018 to 2028+. Given its age (20 years old), we highly recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely extract the potentially fragile cork.

This Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a benchmark white Burgundy, showcasing the pinnacle of Chardonnay. It's rich, complex, and elegant, with notes of ripe orchard fruit, toasted nuts, butter, and profound minerality. It pairs exquisitely with luxurious Asian dishes such as steamed lobster with ginger and scallions, pan-seared scallops, high-end dim sum, or even a delicate Japanese hot pot (shabu-shabu).

The bottle is in exceptional condition: the label is perfect (score 10), the fill level is in neck (score 10), and the capsule is also perfect (score 10). For optimal home storage, keep this precious wine in a cool, dark place with consistent temperature (around 12-14°C or 54-57°F) and moderate humidity (70-75%), away from vibrations and direct light, to preserve its quality.
