Domaine Leflaive Meursault Sous le Dos d'ane 2022
The roots of the Leflaive family go back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive took up residence in Puligny-Montrachet, intent upon cultivating several acres of vineyards. The domaine, in its present form, was created by Joseph Leflaive between the years of 1910-1930, as a result of his successive purchases of vineyards and houses.
Pinot Noir was planted here up until 2002 and the wine was then alled Blagny 1er Cru instead of Meursault. The name comes from the location of the climat, just below a small mound to the west, going up the hill.

The 2022 Meursault Sous Le Dos d'Ane 1er Cru is clean and precise on the nose with hazelnut and light fumé aromas. The bouquet is focused and gains intensity with aeration. The palate is fresh and saline, a little Puligny-like in terms of the green apples towards the brisk, sapid finish. Lovely. |
