Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clavoillon 2014

Leflaive

Case Format: 6x75cl

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.

Neal Martin

The 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon had a slightly muted bouquet: flinty at first, straight-laced with just a touch of dewy green apple. The palate is fresh on the entry with a bright opening and then it hunkers down towards a more stony, precise, flinty finish. Understated perhaps, but there is good length here.

A little mild on the nose. Very tight indeed. Inexpressive today but I’m sure it will emerge. There is lots of matter there on the palate.
