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.
The Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet comes from seven parcels within the village. The wines are gently pressed and settled before fermentation and maturation in oak barrels, of which only eighteen percent are new. This village Cuvee presents with crisp fruit and firm texture just polished by the hint of oak and firm minerality.
Firm reduction dominates the underlying fruit present. Otherwise, there is fine intensity to the delineated and concentrated medium-weight flavours that flash good minerality on the nicely complex and persistent finale. This possesses enough mid-palate fat to be accessible young but should have no trouble aging gracefully
