91 points “The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village unwinds in the glass shedding a touch of youthful reduction to reveal aromas of pear orange oil white flowers and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied satiny and incisive with a tangy spine of acidity fine concentration and a chalky finish it's a success… Concentrated and incisive this is an impressive range of wines that are clearly built to age (indeed several cuvées showed a touch of youthful reduction out of the gates) and which confirm that Domaine Leflaive is back at the top of its game. Everything reviewed here comes warmly recommended.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
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.
The elegant 2019 Puligny-Montrachet strikes poses of flint pebble beaches lemon meringue pie mille-feuille apple peel orange zest peach white blossom and nutmeg. Allen Meadows of Burghound notes “This possesses enough mid-palate fat to be accessible young but should have no trouble ageing gracefully.” So it might be worth tucking a couple of bottles away for a rainy day. Open this astonishing Chardonnay with buttery dishes creamy sauces or gratins.
