2005 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru

Pro Reviews

Vinous Media (VM)

Expressive aromas of peach, butter and vanilla. Dense, chewy and dry, with notes of flowers and marzipan and impressive minerally depth. Classic rich-but-dry white Burgundy, finishing with excellent length. Bottled just two weeks before I tasted it, and more impressive today than when I sampled it from barrel a year ago. — Stephen Tanzer

Wine Spectactor (WS)

A superb white Puligny, offering lime and mineral aromas and flavors, with hints of flowers and vanilla pastry. It’s lean and well-toned, with persistence and a crisp, toast- and mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2018. 315 cases imported. –BS

Burghound (BH)

A discreet touch of pain grillé and reduction frames fresh and exotic aromas of peach, melon and mango that continue onto the round, rich and concentrated flavors that possess real texture due to the solid dry extract on the mouth coating and solidly long finish. This is notably better than it usually is.
