Puligny Montrachet, Clavoillon, 1er Cru, 2017

A lot of texture and richness for a Puligny, but this is a typical Clavoillon. Dense and unctuous, though there is an uplifting crispy edge encircling the yellow plum and greengage fruit. Finishing on more savoury notes of citrus pith and rock salt. Somewhere between Puligny and Meursault in style. A flagship for Domaine Leflaive, and their biggest holding at 4.5 hectares, it feels like Clavaillon has progressed considerably over the last ten years.
