⭐️90/100⭐️ 𝐵𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑔𝑜𝑔𝑛𝑒 𝐵𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐, 2017 📍Puligny-Montrachet, Côte d’Or, Bourgogne, France🇫🇷 🍇 100% Chardonnay ⚡️13 % Tasted: May 2021 This winery, arguably one of the biggest and best reputed names of Bourgogne, has belonged to the family since 1717, though, their breakthrough came with Joseph Leflaive in 1926. The style is very classic for each appellation with a general use of 25-35% new oak (some wines are mainly fermented and elevated in steel- and concrete tanks. Classic, yes, but with an almost unmistaken “Leflaive minerality”. Most of their vineyards are biodynamically certified (the rest are organically and biodynamically cultivated, yet not certified). Hand-harvested from biodynamically cultured vineyards planted between 1950 and 1990. Fermented in barrels (25% new Vosges and Allier wood) where it stays 12 months before put into other sized vats for 6 months. Only a mild filtration if necessary before bottling. Expressive, elegant and classic nose with aromas of popcorn, roasted sesame, ripe pear, buttered warm scone, baked apple, hay loft, swimmingpool, and a nice mineral touch. The palate is a bit less developped, but is very well balanced between fruit, barrel-spice, minerality and acidity. Medium-bodied and soft with a minerality outshining the acidity a bit. Pineapple, lemon peel, yellow apple, vanilla, oak, brioche and salt in the finish. A beautiful Bourgogne Blanc!
