This rich white is filled with hazelnut, apple and lime blossom flavors on a medium- to full-bodied frame, with a long aftertaste. Drink now through 2012. Score: 88 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2009-2012 |

Thanks to the declassified villages, this always boxes above its weight and the 2007 version is no exception with its lightly toasted notes highlighting the fresh and relatively elegant aromas of floral and pear that slide gracefully into citrusy and detailed flavors that possess plenty of energy and finishing punch. This offers excellent potential and would make for a great house wine, or even a fine restaurant choice. Score: 86 - 88 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2011+ |

Pale yellow. Aromatic nose offers peach, vanilla and toast. Gentle and sweet in the middle palate but with sound acidity underneath. Tightens up on the back end, finishing with very good mineral persistence. This may ultimately merit an outstanding rating. (Incidentally, the estate's Bourgogne, which I tasted from cuve, showed uncommon size and aromatic complexity for its appellation. (89+ points) Score: 89 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar |

The Leflaive 2007 Bourgogne displays a nose of apple cider and toasted nuts wreathed in smoke. Surprisingly, it lacks the textural richness of this year’s Macon, although that could also be a function of its having been in bottle only two weeks when I tasted. Certainly there is a sense of the lees by way of flavor. This finishes with buoyancy, refreshment, and persistence, although it will never manage the surprisingly grand statement of the 2006. I would anticipate it being best drunk over the next couple of years. Score: 87 David Schildknecht, erobertparker.com |
