Bourgogne Blanc Domaine Leflaive 2017 (750ML)

88-90 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Aromas of waxy citrus rind, green apples and light reduction introduce the 2017 Bourgogne Blanc, a medium to full-bodied wine and elegantly glossy attack, a succulent core of fruit, and excellent cut and intensity for its level, concluding with a long finish. This is routinely one of the best generic bottlings to be found, and this year's rendition is no exception." 01/19

91 Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "Despite a bit of frost damage here in 2017, the wine was showing beautifully at the time of my visit. The nose is deep, pure and quite classy for its level, offering up scents of pear, apple, a touch of orange zest, lovely, chalky soil tones and a floral topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and really has a superb core of fruit this year, with excellent cut and grip, fine focus and a long, vibrant and impressively complex finish. There cannot be too many Bourgogne Blancs (outside of Coche-Dury) at this level." 11/18
