Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne Blanc 2012 MOSCATO 20% limestone soil from villageIt has a precise bouquet with scents of apple blossom and just a faint hint of something richer: dried mango perhaps. The palate is well balanced with moderate acidity. There is a pleasant weight in the mouth with just a touch of fresh ginger on the finish. This is a satisfying Bourgogne Blanc, though the village cru is, as usual, a serious step up.
