Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Leflaive, Puligny Montrachet, Les Pucelles, 1er Cru, 2013

A relatively open-knit nose of stones and flowers; long, classy and fine-tuned on the palate. Stylish and refined, bright racy citrus fruit, notes of salted lemon rind with a touch of silk. Long and smooth in body but not excessive. Beautifully measured. This eminates from three parcels in the heart of the Pucelles vineyard situated next to Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet.

ABV:
13%
93/100
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Pale yellow. Aromas of oily yellow peach, pear, white flowers and flinty minerality. Sweet, intense and fine-grained, with harmonious acidity and a firm spine of minerality giving energy and finesse to the middle palate. Best today on the rising, resounding finish.

Leflaive

Anne-Claude Leflaive's untimely death in 2015 was a tragedy for world of wine. The bio-dynamic revolution that she started in 1990 was her major legacy, one that seems well-secured following the succession of her nephew Brice de la Morandière. Dynamic and restless, Brice is constantly looking to take the Domaine's wines on to higher plains. Unfraid to take bold decisions, Brice moved to diam cork closures for the estate's entire production as of the 2014 vintage in order to guarantee consistent quality of every bottle. His masterstroke, however, came in early 2017 with the appointment of Pierre Vincent, ex headwinemaker of Domaine de la Vougeraie, replacing winemaker Eric Remy and estate manager Antoine Lepetit. There is much to come from Pierre and Leflaive no doubt, but in 2017 and 2018, he has already overseen what we believe to be the most vibrant young wines we can ever remember tasting at the estate. The classic Leflaive wine-making system remains barrel-fermentation, followed by a year's ageing in barriques, finished off by at least 6 months in steel tank prior to bottling.
