This is complex with a lees-infused feel to it, beautifully interwoven. Lively fruit bright and a fine sense of tension, with a little bit of contrasting orange blossom and greengage fruit. An interesting chat followed with Brice de la Morandière on the place of Clavoillon in the 1er cru hierarchy. He feels it has considerably advanced in the years since biodynamic farming has been employed. Tasted: November 2019--Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru, Leflaive’s largest vineyard at 4.8 hectares, has a very perfumed bouquet with mirabelle, crushed pebble and a touch of sherbet blossoming from the nose. The well-balanced palate offers a touch of spice on the entry, good acidity, moderate depth and a suggestion of ginger toward the sappy finish.
