2015 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon Premier Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 90

Bright yellow. Very ripe aromas of peach and pineapple accented by minerals. Fat and full but with lovely acid cut to the flavors of pineapple, stone fruits and grilled nuts; fresher than the Meursault but not quite as brisk as it was from barrel a year earlier. Finishes with a suggestion of phenolic dryness and dusty tannins, especially compared to the 2016 version. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/09/2017]

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. [Neal Martin, 09/28/2017]
