Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles Premier Cru 2018

A world-class Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru with aromas of lemon curd, white peach, pear, acacia blossom, toasted hazelnut, flint, and subtle oak. Richly textured yet impeccably precise, it delivers vibrant acidity, exceptional minerality, remarkable complexity, and extraordinary aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, grilled scallops, turbot, roast chicken, creamy mushroom risotto, aged Comté, or goat cheese.

This leads off with oyster shell and iodine notes, with underlying lemon, apple tart, hazelnut and citronella flavors. Intense, building in complexity to a long, mineral- and pastry-tinged aftertaste.

A fine effort, the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon wafts from the glass with notes of white flowers, crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, it's elegant and fine-boned, with—as I observed last year—none of the blockiness of yesteryear's Clavoillon.
