2023 Domaine Leflaive Sous le Dos d'Ane, Meursault Premier Cru, France
$465.00
This Chardonnay comes from biodynamically farmed vines on the stony, high slopes above Blagny, where thin clay over limestone gives Meursault depth with Puligny-like cut. Fruit is hand-harvested, gently pressed, and fermented with native yeasts in oak. Élevage runs about 12 months in barrels with a restrained share of new wood, followed by 6 months in tank to settle before a light fining. The 2023 is precise yet layered, showing ripe citrus and stone fruit with white flowers, a fine hazelnut nuance, and a long, chalk-saline finish.
Arrives October 2025.
