Discover this Meursault Sous le Dos d'Ane 2014
Today, the Domaine Leflaive stands in the hands of fourth generation, Brice de La Morandiere the great-grandson of founder Joseph Leflaive. Dating back to the 1920s, Joseph undertook the great responsibility of replanting, expanding and revamping the family’s vines in Puligny-Montrachet. Gaining speed in the 1960s and 1970s while under the direction of Joseph’s son Vincent, the estate’s reputation blew up, focusing more on quality, their wines from that moment on have become extremely sought after. With each generation came success. With Vincent’s daughter, the late Anne-Claude for example, the estate became a biodynamic grower-producer further highlighting their already high-quality production. Biodynamic methods help to reflect the elements of the terroir which show through in their balanced, and structured wines. Known as Burgundy’s finest white producer, their wines have brilliant clarity and purity, with complex dimension.

Critical Acclaim
The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane, which was previously Pinot Noir until it was regrafted with Chardonnay in 1996 and 2000, has a lively, generous bouquet with scents of apricot blossom, peach skin and hints of fresh pear; not as mineral-driven as the Puligny-Montrachet Village, however there is more complexity and charm. The palate is fresh and crisp with a lovely saline note on the entry that neatly offsets the subtle white peach and fresh apricot notes. It has certainly discarded the "Zen-like" personality that was conveyed out of tank. There is a seam of spice here that fans out gloriously on the finish. You could actually drink this now and revel in its hubris, though I would advise resisting temptation and cellaring it away for 3-5 years. Tasted December 2016.
