Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clavoillon 2011

Leflaive

Case Format: 12x75cl

Max score: 94.0

Considered by many to represent the pinnacle of Chardonnay, alongside a reputation for excellence, the Clavoillon derives from vines with an average age of 40+ years, all grown on white calcareous soils. Mixed, the combination of vine age and terroir produce wonderfully concentrated wines with a distinct linear backbone of acidity which ensures longevity as well as unfurling power with and ethereal finesse and precision akin to the greatest in the region.

Struck-match reductive nose and still very tightly wound, even tart. Dont even think about opening this yet.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon 2011 from Anne-Claude Laflaive has convincing pedigree on the nose: fine minerality here and impressive delineation, touches of slate unfurling in the glass. The palate has a slightly honeyed entry and it is more exotic than the nose suggests with hints of orange rind and sour lemon dovetailing into lively chalky textured finish. This has great potential, so I would cellar for 2 or 3 years if you can resist.
