Domaine Leflaive Meursault Sous le Dos d'ane 2011

Wine Spectator: 92
The peach, apple and lemon flavors are well-integrated with spicy oak in this sleek, supple white. Harmonious and refreshing, with spice notes echoing on the lingering finish. Best from 2015 through 2024. 248 cases imported.

Vinous: 88
Pale, bright yellow. A ripe fruit cocktail of a nose. Supple and soft, with a suggestion of alcoholic warmth that I did not pick up a year ago. Finishes smooth and persistent, but in a distinctly soft style. I found this a bit blowsy next to a sample of the village Puligny, which was in tank awaiting bottling. The latter wine, which conveyed a light touch to its white peach, spice and mineral flavors, may well merit 90 points in its finished form.
