Leflaive Dom. Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2017 - 75cl bt

Fine clay. Racked to tank just before the 2018 harvest. Ripe pear and pure citrus and just a hint of oak spice but mostly there’s a stony tension. Then the fruit explodes on the palate, great power and muscle but all toned and shaped by the acidity. Long, textured finish. Julia Harding MW
