Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clavoillon 2015

Leflaive

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 93.0

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.

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon has a pretty nose in the make, touches of white flower and white peach filtering through the citrus fruit, superb mineralité tucked just underneath. The palate perhaps does not quite match the sophistication of the nose at the moment, although it is not far off. There is wonderful salinity and tension here, harmonious, not concentrated but so refined on the finish. Great terroir expression is already locked into this wine and though not a long-term proposition, it will give immense drinking pleasure.

Of all the domaines wines, Leflaives 2015 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon is arguably the cuvée that has benefited the most from biodynamic viticulture, as what was formerly a rather foursquare, blocky premier cru in the 1990s is now routinely more dynamic and lively. The 2015 opens in the glass with a pretty bouquet of fresh pear, citrus zest, orange blossom and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is bright, energetic and pure with good depth and a tangy, penetrating finish. While the race is close today, the Clavoillon is holding more in reserve than the domaines excellent Puligny Village, and its acids are brighter, so this will reward a bit of patience.
