The tiny crop in the Leflaive parcels of Bourgogne Blanc have not adversely affected the quality of this consistently fine wine, and the 2016 version is one of the finest I have ever tasted here. The bouquet is superb, offering up scents of apple, lemon, chalky soil tones, spring flowers and a lovely topnote of lemon zest. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and racy, with a lovely soil signature, fine focus and great backend cut and grip on the impressively long and classy finish. Fine, fine juice. Drink 2018-2035

An attractively fresh nose combines notes of pear, apple and citrus elements. The delicious and solidly concentrated middle weight flavors possess a beguiling sense of underlying tension before concluding in a complex and lingering finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth.

Subdued aromas of menthol and minerals. Stone fruit and menthol flavors convey an attractive creaminess. Good, serious Bourgogne with structure and length, not to mention character.
