Domaine Leflaive, Bourgogne Blanc Vintage:2023 While the medium weight flavors

While the medium weight flavors do not have the same size and power of the Clos des Chênes

Is this an attempt at a Guigal ‘La La’ style

nicely horizontal on the palate

chocolate and licorice with just a touch of loam

round and very forward flavors lack the same concentration as the Amoureuses and while this is certainly pretty as the tannins are notably fine-grained

Domaine Leflaive, Bourgogne Blanc Vintage:2023 While the medium weight flavors(includes some declassified villages wine). A discreet hint of wood frames wonderfully fresh aromas of pear, white peach and lavender scents. There is a really lovely underlying tension to the racy yet plump middle weight flavors that also conclude in a clean and dry finale. If this can add depth with a few years of bottle age it should make for an outstanding Bourgogne. (86 89) 2019+
