1 of 20. I had tried the full Leflaive line up of 2021 which had just been bottled and 2022 en barrel at the winery last November and was impressed with the overall quality of both vintages. It does appear that this Domain is once again one of the top 2 or 3 producers in Burgundy.

I´m very disappointed because of this 2021 Leflaive Bourgogne. It´s really nothing special. I drank it and it was like a Bourgone Blanc from an unknown prducer - no speacial smell from the "normal" buttery bottles of Leflaive -- i cannot go with the others user here - what bolltes they had? -- for 90 USD ist is much to expensive - i regret the bought
Merchant walkabout tasting of the 2021 burgundy vintage in bottle. I really liked this vintage, the wines were showing well. It is lighter and crisper than the 2020, more open at this stage and easier to drink, but there is no under-ripeness. Comparing it to recent vintages, I see it as a slightly cooler version of 2017. TN: Not cheap, but really impressive for a Bourgogne blanc, precise, complex with flinty notes, lemon curd. I wish everybody made base white Burg like this. 93+

Smell great with a little smoke and a little oxidization to it. Rather, a little reduction to it, not oxidization.

This really exceeded my expectations! So sharp, bright and lean, with excellent acidity. Very good Bourgogne.
