Olivier Leflaive, Rully Premier Cru (Burgundy, France) Les Cloux 2014

($30, Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd.): The white Burgundies from the 2014 vintage are stunning — the best since the grand 2010 vintage.  Here’s just another example.  The white wines from Rully in the Côte Chalonnaise can be very appealing because they convey an underlying stoniness.  In 2014 Leflaive’s Les Cloux has just a hint more ripeness than usual without losing any of its verve and vivacity.  In short, it’s a fabulously energetic Chardonnay-based white Burgundy.
