Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clavoillon 2017

Leflaive

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

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.

Domaine Leflaive was among the earlier pickers in Puligny in 2017 and it shows in the tautness and balance of wines like this one. Tight and chiselled, with well-integrated 20% new wood, this is all citrus fruit and lemongrass with a racy, tapering finish.

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon is excellent, and a clear step up over the Puligny Village, something that cant be taken for granted. Offering up aromas of lemon, beeswax, white flowers and blanched almonds, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated, with tangy acids, chewy extract and a long, precise finish. Its promisingly tight-knit and should develop further before its bottled.
