Average Critic Score: 92.0/100 based on 2 critic reviews
Domaine Leflaive is the name most closely associated with great white Burgundy, a Puligny-Montrachet estate whose biodynamic farming and precise, mineral style set the benchmark for the Cote de Beaune. Sous le Dos d'Ane is a Premier Cru high on the Meursault-Blagny border, where altitude keeps Chardonnay fresh and taut even in a warm year. The 2023 Domaine Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane earned 93 points from Wine Spectator and 91 points from William Kelley (Wine Advocate), who praised its purity, brightness and fine-boned delicacy.
A sleek and balanced white, whose texture borders on creamy and is offset by vibrant acidity. Peach, hazelnut, lemon curd, stone and toasty oak flavors build nicely on the palate to the long, expansive aftertaste. - Wine Spectator (93 pts)
Suggested drinking window: now through 2038 (Wine Spectator).

“A sleek and balanced white, whose texture borders on creamy and is offset by vibrant acidity. Peach, hazelnut, lemon curd, stone and toasty oak flavors build nicely on the palate to the long, expansive aftertaste. Drink now through 2038. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.”
91 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
“The 2023 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane is showing well, offering up notes of pear, peach, green apple and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, fine-boned and delicate palate that emphasizes purity and brightness.”
