Tasting notes
The 2021 Meursault Sous Le Dos d'Ane has a clean, pure bouquet with touches of hazelnut and crushed stone, gaining intensity in the glass. The palate has bitter lemon on the entry, orange rind and moderate depth. Quite linear in style with a Puligny-like finish. Strict!

Aromas of citrus zest, green apple, hazelnuts and fresh mint introduce Leflaive's 2021 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane, a medium to full-bodied, taut and electric wine with a satiny attack that segues into a palate built around tangy acids. This parcel, formerly planted to red, abuts Pierre Morey's Meursault Perrières, and the soils are very stony.
