Meursault 1er Cru sous le Dos d’Âne – 2009 – 93 points, A Year’s Best White Burgundy – Wine & Spirits
93 points
“While noted for their Puligny wines, Domaine Leflaive farms four acres of vines just across the border in Meursault, capturing a pure expression of the stone fruit and limestone character of this vineyard, their sensitive farming amplifying the distinctions of the terroir in 2009. It’s an elegant wine on a grand scale, with the fresh juiciness of nectarine and the woodsy notes of pear skin. Check on this six to eight years from the vintage, as a partner for crab or langoustines.”
