A very pretty nose freely reveals its aromas of apple pear and lemon rind. The succulent delicious and appealingly vibrant middleweight flavors possess a relatively refined texture while displaying fine depth and length for a wine of this level. The 20% addition of young vines from upper-level vineyards clearly helps and overall this is excellent. (Drink starting 2028)

Vinous: 89 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc has a pleasant bouquet with Granny Smiths and light white peach aromas which are very well-defined. The palate is well-balanced with fine weight taut fresh and quite potent for a regional white. The 2022 is satisfyingly persistent on the finish. This is white regional Burgundy from the top drawer. (Drink between 2024-2034)
Wine Advocate: 88 Points
Leflaive's 2022 Bourgogne Blanc delivers aromas of pear, green apple, white toast and citrus zest, framed by a discreet touch of reduction. Medium-bodied, satiny and racy, it's fine-boned and saline.
The 2022 vintage has turned out very nicely at Domaine Leflaive. Picking decisions at this address in recent years, under the direction of Pierre Vincent, have tended to privilege freshness, and a couple of wines appeared to have been picked a little on the early side if one's tastes lean toward the texture and plenitude that only full maturity can impart; but overall, this is a strong vintage that is developing a touch of noble reduction in bottle and which is going to age with grace. As usual, élevage began with a year in barrel (from a variety of coopers, including Séguin Moreau and Chassin) followed by six months or so in tank on the lees before bottling under Diam 30.
