Welcoming Phil Franks to the OC (Phil Franks, Huntington Beach, CA): This drank a lot closer to a non-Chablis white Burgundy from a big vintage to me. Richly fruited and big without the clean minerals I would normally like. Seems to be begging for more bottle time though so possibly in an awkward stage in need of a decant. Meant to revisit but never did.

Tasted May 18, 2007 at an offline. Opened and served immediately. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of wet stones, citrus and graham crackers. Flavors of lime, mineral and green apple. Light to medium acidity, light to medium body. Hold another year or two before trying again.

A little too light to stand up well with a full meal.

Compared very well with a more expensive Burgundy. Continually find wines from Leflaive to be excellent QPR.

On the nose citrus and stones. On the palate, lean to medium-bodied with plenty of rocks, lime and minerals, and a medium length finish.
