Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles Domaine Leflaive 2013

Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 2013 is a Premier Cru white Burgundy from the prized Puligny climat of Les Pucelles in the Côte de Beaune. Now led by Brice de la Morandière, Domaine Leflaive is one of the most influential estates in Puligny-Montrachet. The estate focuses almost entirely on white wines made from Chardonnay, including four Grand Cru and four Premier Cru expressions. Les Pucelles is one of the most-prized 1ers Crus of Puligny-Montrachet, producing scintillating Chardonnays with a winning combination of concentration, elegance and mineral freshness. "A strikingly elegant nose presents a broad range of yellow and white orchard fruits with ample honeysuckle, spice, lilac and citrus nuances. The mouth feel of the medium-bodied flavours is notably finer and wonderfully seductive before concluding in a palate coating, saline and linear finish that possesses superb depth and length. Like the Combettes this is clearly built-to-age and while it will certainly be capable of rewarding longer-term cellaring it should be approachable after only 6 to 8 years." Burghound, 2015
