Tasting Notes

It is easy to see the limestone influence on this wine. The purity, perfect white fruit and floral notes and the sharp focus of its aromas are all there. On the palate, there is plenty of drive and purpose but the wine is never heavy, moving upwards, with a floating, ethereal sensation before a long reverberating finish. This graceful, lifted quality sets it apart from the rest, a more celestial creation than its earth-bound brethren. Drink from 2020.

ProducerDomaine Leflaive

The vision of Anne-Claude Leflaive in the 1990s took this Puligny Montrachet Domaine to the heights of white wine production, not only in Burgundy but in the rest of the world. Today, her nephew Brice de La Morandière - who has had a successful career running multinational companies - continues her philosophy of organic, biodynamic viticulture, bringing Chardonnay grapes to their best possible expression in Grand Cru and Premier Cru climates, where the terroir has been restored to health by natural practices.

*These wines are not available for non-UK based customers.

Tasting Notes

The aromatics are at the grapefruit end of the citric spectrum. On the palate, the wine feels tender and delicate at first but it builds in the mouth and then shows clear intensity on the finish, giving a real saline burst. Another one that is asking for time.
