The 2023 Récolte du Domaine Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Blagny Sous le Dos d'Âne is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from one of Meursault’s highest-altitude vineyard sites, located on the slopes above the village in the Blagny sector. Sourced from a domaine-owned vineyard bordering the renowned Perrières hillside, this Chardonnay reflects its stony, marl-rich soils through a combination of richness, precision and distinctive mineral character.
On the palate, it is elegant and finely structured, with flavours of white peach, lemon curd and ripe pear supported by vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Subtle notes of toasted almond, brioche and gentle oak spice add complexity and texture, while the elevated vineyard position brings freshness and tension to the wine. The finish is long, focused and flinty, with impressive balance and persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Meursault that combines classic richness with notable mineral precision. While already showing excellent detail and structure, it will continue to develop beautifully over the next 8–12 years. Pair with lobster, scallops, roast chicken, turbot, creamy seafood dishes or mature soft cheeses.
