The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane is the weak link in the Leflaive portfolio this year, and tasted from bottle, it is clear that it hasn't found the precision that it lacked in tank. The nose is more marked by new oak than the domaine's other wines, offering up aromas of pear, apricot, barrel vanillin and yellow apple; the prelude to a medium-full, ample wine which lacks depth or tension, its finish diffuse and brief. If this judgment appears harsh, it's only because the failings of Domaine Leflaive's lone Meursault are thrown into relief by the superb quality of the rest of the range in the 2015 vintage.
