About this Item

Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Clavoillon, 2011
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

The Leflaive family can trace their roots in Puligny back to 1717 when Claude Leflaive became one of the first vignerons on record in Puligny. Joseph Leflaive founded the domaine after purchasing vineyards that were up for sale after the phylloxera epidemic. He set out to expand his vineyards and replanted them with Chardonnay vines. After his death, his sons Vincent and Jo took over who are credited with building Leflaive’s reputation to what it is today.

Critics Ratings

‘Terrific from start to finish, this white starts out with lime blossom, apple, citronella and mineral aromas and flavors. Creamy yet fluid, intense yet airy, with harmony and a long aftertaste of citrus and stone. Best from 2016 through 2026.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Sept 2014)
