A very enjoyable glass from one of the less glamorous white Burgundy satellite appellations, this is apparently the latest picked O Leflaive wines. The 15% new oak this cuvee saw is showing, but the acidity which is very high and the lovely fruit concentration (note ripe not overripe) balance that out. Touch of reduction, good minerality, white fruit and lemon with a yuzu finish which is satisfyingly long for this price level. Showing that 17 is a good vintage for whites for sure, O Leflaive making very good wines and a good price levels. 89-90
