Description

Domaine Leflaive needs little introduction to wine lovers. It has been described as Burgundy’s greatest white wine Domaine, and while this is a pretty strong claim, it is a justifiable one. The Leflaive family has been in Burgundy since 1717 and began to take shape as a Domaine in the early 1900s under the leadership of Claude Leflaive. The Domaine gained its prominence in the hands of Anne-Claude Leflaive, who converted the vineyards to biodynamics in the 1990s giving the wines greater transparency in their expression of terroir. Puligny has a distinguished bouquet of almond paste, ferns, tropical fruit, amber, and white flowers. Their discreet acidity leaves room for a very soft mouthfeel and an impressively long finish

1 parcel, "Les Combettes". Vines planted: 1963 and 1972. Surface: 73a (1.8 acres).

Review

Here the nose is sufficiently reduced to render an assessment impossible. Otherwise, the succulent yet punchy medium-weight flavours possess an opulent mouthfeel while delivering outstanding length on the beautifully well-balanced finish that maintains its focus as it sits on the palate. This refined and very classy if the presently restrained effort is textbook Combettes.
