Domaine Leflaive
Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay



Light gold, not showing much age in the glass. Heavy weight like motor oil. Exotic and exciting nose. Notes of citrus, sweet apricot, wet river stone, some flint and petrol, some tan spice and some ripe peach. Sappy fruit in the mouth balanced against the still-strong acidity and structure. Drinking well now, especially with 5 hours of air, this has a long life in front of it and is just hitting its stride. Love the 99 Leflaives!

Light gold in glass. Awesome nose. Notes of lemon, apricot, petrol, crushed stone, cardamom spice and a little white clay. Rich and well balanced in the mouth. Long finish. Leaves a sweetness impression. Still young with great acidity, and on its upslope... Can get better with a bit more age I think. Great juice.

Terrific. So elegant. Still sulfur after 15 years. Long. Expansive and classic iodine and hazelut notes.

Hmmmmm. Sulfur notes dominate, hair brush, match stick, lemon curd on palate and touch of that butterscotch.

Excellent. Needs 1 to 2 hours to open and becomes beautiful.

Lively and layered. Apricot floral notes and plenty of lingering complexity. Wonderful.
