Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Les Pucelles 2017

Leflaive

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

This comes from three small parcels within the “Les Pucelles” appellation. Prominent notes of honeysuckle and passion fruit are laced with a variety of space and citrus elements. There is good richness and an abundance of dry extract to the strikingly refined flavors that possesses a gorgeous mouthfeel which delivers flat out superb length on the balanced finale. This is very classy juice that should basically age for as long as anyone would reasonably like.

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Pucelles wafts from the glass with aromas of spring flowers, white peach, lemon, pastry cream and blanched almonds. On the palate, its medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural but tangy, with a pure, fine-boned profile. It was quite reserved when I tasted it, so I suspect it only needs time to take on the breadth and dimension that characterize a great Pucelles, but for now, the wine is quite tensile and linear.

Ripe pear and pure citrus and just a hint of oak spice but mostly there’s a stony tension. Then the fruit explodes on the palate, great power and muscle but all toned and shaped by the acidity. Long, textured finish. (JH)
