Bourgogne Blanc

1993 Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

A medium, in fact quite young looking yellow. A little creamy, mature lanolin underpins the aromas of a younger wine. In the mouth it is linear and quite mineral until a small burst of interest in the mid-palate and a nice finish. Whilst the acidity is the defining feature of the wine, it has just enough padding that it doesn’t become jarring. Everyone around the room was sure it was a Puligny…

Very impressive – medium yellow, no gold despite it’s age. The nose is dominated by a mellow, toasty-oak note. Concentrated, vibrant acidity and surprising length. This is a very clean and technical rather than sumptuous wine, with the merest trace of hazelnut towards the end of the mid-palate burst. Happy that I have two more, but sad that there are no more.
