Olivier Leflaive Meursault Sous le Dos d’Âne 2023 is a Premier Cru Meursault from a site situated high on the slope, bordering Puligny-Montrachet. This high-altitude position and the thin, rocky soils result in a wine that often displays more Puligny-like tension than traditional Meursault richness. The 2023 release is characterised by its crystalline purity and notes of citrus oil, white peach and crushed sea shells. It is a precisely balanced bottling that focuses on mineral drive and aromatic lift.
