Log in / Sign up Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 2022
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.

An elegant, pure and more floral nose offers up its combination of green apple, prominent citrus and crushed fennel nuances.
There is borderline painful intensity to the appealingly textured medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality, chiseled, balanced and long finish that is quite dry but not really austere. This is an excellent Puligny villages that is also worth strong consideration.
