93 points “The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon has turned out very nicely mingling aromas of pear and citrus oil with hints of wheat toast fresh bread and hazelnuts in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied satiny and concentrated with terrific cut and a long saline finish it's taut and incisive showing promise for the cellar.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Domaine Leflaive’s Le Clavoillon is a rare beauty because so few growers farm this plot. It’s a stunning Premier Cru Chardonnay renowned for hedonistic character but it gets too often overlooked perhaps because of its rarity or because it’s located a little further from the neighbouring Grand Cru sites. Either way it’s a wine that’s not to be missed.
Organic biodynamic and iconic Domaine Leflaive is the doyen of Puligny-Montrachet producing “the kind of wine that should be delivered by Grace Kelly” according to the Wall Street Journal. The attention to detail invested in these Chardonnays “set standards for white Burgundy that few other estates can approach” and in the words of Wine Advocate: “If you do not like Leflaive’s wines then you do not like white Burgundy.”
2019 was a highly unusual year. Despite the blazing hot and extremely dry conditions the wines have freshness and acidity much to the surprise of the critics and the winemakers. The result has been declared a “a superb vintage” by the experts at Wine Advocate. So we recommend getting all over this vintage before everything gets snapped up.
Displaying Leflaive’s signature purity this Puligny-Montrachet is simply sensational presenting notes of lemon zest white peach beeswax apple blossom blanched almonds white chocolate praline baguette vanilla jasmine tea and a pinch of sea salt. Sapid complex deeply decadent and smooth as satin this is Chardonnay at its very best.
