Domaine Leflaive

Ripe yellow stone fruits and hazelnut on the nose. Dense, sappy and quite dry, with its rather bracing acidity (at the high end for these ’17s) giving the saline middle palate outstanding precision. This very tight Wine is not yet displaying grand cru weight or palate presence but it spreads out and vibrates on the very long, pure, slowly building back end. This was the first ’17 to finish both its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, which may explain its peacock’s tail of a finish.
