About this Item

Leflaive
Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles, 2010
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

‘The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru is an absolute killer wine from the late Anne-Claude Leflaive. Lucid in the glass, it has a crystalline bouquet with crushed stone, a touch of oyster shell, Nashi pear and citrus peel. The terroir seems to just burst from the glass. The palate is cool, calm and collected. The acidity is nigh pitch perfect, the tension palpable from start to finish. This is a live-wire Les Pucelles: edgy and citrus fresh, yet utterly composed and befitting a wine that frankly is Grand Cru in all but name.’ - Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100 (May 2019)

‘The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Pucelles is a totally complete wine. It brings together the expressive bouquet and minerality of Combettes with some of the expressive fruit of the Folatieres. Vivid and multi-dimensional in the glass, the Pucelles wraps around the palate with serious intensity. Citrus, white flowers and green pears linger on the highly nuanced, refined finish. Its pedigree is impossible to miss. Leflaive’s Pucelles is easily one of the highlights of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2015+.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Aug 2012)
