    Score: 84-86

    The 2014 Bourgogne Blanc has a light, crisp red apple, slightly earthy bouquet that probably needs a little more definition. The palate is simple, rounded on the entry with moderate acidity, however I am seeking more tension and animation towards the finish, even at this entry level. Hopefully that will develop by the time it is in bottle. Drink 2016-2020

    Planted in 2003 on its own rootstock.. is a new Bourgogne..a massale selection from their own stock…”even planted in the conditions of 2003 they did well.” This is richer, more rounded and generous. Fuller at the beginning and more mineral at the end. This is a rather ‘serious Bourgogne’..more structured and it will need more time in bottle. This also has very high acidity, but it does not show.

Producer

Domaine Leflaive

"One of the greatest white wine domaines in Burgundy" remarked Clive Coates. Doamine Leflaive's vineyards in Puligny Montrachet are steeped in history and the current generation can look back to 1717 for the first Leflaive family occupation of the farm buildings that they use today. The domaine was founded by Joseph Leflaive, who came to Burgundy in 1905. Anne-Claude Leflaive, the granddaughter of Joseph was appointed to run the domaine in 1990. A fervent proponent of biodynamic viticulture, Anne-Claude converted the domaine to biodynamics. After her untimely death in 2015, Brice de La Morandiere's, Anne-Claude's nephew and great grand son of Joseph Leflaive took on the mantle. He upholds the terroir-orientated, sustainable winemaking philosophy of the family.

Region

Bourgogne

This blanket regional appellation can apply to wines throughout Burgundy (60% of the area's production) as long as they comply with regulations relating to grape type, yield and alcohol content. Reds and roses are from Pinot Noir or Gamay. Whites are Chardonnay. They are usually the most straightforward of the Burgundy wines, and as a result are the least expensive and the most approachable upon release. In the hands of a more serious producer these can represent exceptional value and quality. The wines are made with the same care and attention to detail as their grander wines. However, they may not qualify for a village or communal appellation because the vines are too young or the vineyard area is outside the appellation boundary.
