Leflaive
Puligny Montrachet, 2012
justerini & brooks tasting note
This shows the richness of the Bourgogne; with the extra finesse you would expect from Puligny. Concentrated and packed with extract, exhibiting notes of stones, citrus rind, nut and butter. A Puligny Villages that originates from seven different Villages parcels, the oldest vines of which were planted in the 1950s and 60s.

90/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Subtle aromas and flavors of peach, menthol and mint. Serious and pure if a bit youthfully streamlined. Best today on the dry, rich, rather backward finish, which displays good minerality for village wine. (Incidentally, Leflaive's 2012 Bourgogne Blanc, which I tasted from tank just before it was bottled, is particularly chewy, sweet and complex for its appellation.)
