Why We're Buying
Anjou pears, floral aromas, and toasted nuts combine to form Domaine Leflaive Sous le dos d’Âne. The chardonnay is a textbook example of the appellation, with surprising quality for young vines. This white wine returned 50.1 on investment from 2017 to 2021.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane offers up aromas of pear, citrus oil, elderflowers and wheat toast. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a more textural and enveloping profile than the Clavoillon, underpinned by lively acids and concluding with a delicately saline finish.

This too is quite floral in character with plenty of citrus nuances to the mostly green apple scents. There is once again fine density and volume to the attractively textured medium-bodied flavors thanks to the nicely abundant dry extract that coats the palate on the solidly long finish. This is surprisingly good for young vines and while it's not quite as complex as the Puligny villages, it may well catch up with a few years of bottle age.
