Domaine Leflaive
Clavoillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
Light and bright and focused. Mercifully not prem-oxed. Limpid oyster shells and gentle lemon. Not too intense. Pretty.

Sep 2nd, 2023Well balanced with subtle richness and oak; very bright acidity still.... baked apple, caramelized pineapple, plenty of wood spice.

May 6th, 2018Beautifully balanced. A fresh nose of white flowers. S hint if corn and pear drops. Intense lemon confit. Very good stuff.
