About this Item

Leflaive
Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles, 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

‘A broad-ranging nose is comprised of honeysuckle, anise, clove, lemongrass, brioche and pear. There is an appealing sense of volume to the beautifully delineated, serious, textured and energetic flavors that are both classy and stylish, all wrapped in a hugely long yet delicately balanced finish where a touch of wood influence surfaces. A classy Pucelles of generosity and refinement that should amply reward at least a decade of cellaring.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Jun 2014)

‘This bright version evokes lime blossom, apple, hazelnut and stone notes. Lean and athletic, presenting a firm yet refined structure and a long finish of citrus and mineral. The oak is beautifully integrated. Best from 2016 through 2026.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Sept 2014)
