  • Goedhuis, November 2017

    A selection from six different lieux dits in the appellation, this is a beautiful expression of Puligny Montrachet. Light green in colour, with fresh aromas of citrus fruits and white peaches. This is an harmonious style of wine, balancing a gentle richness of fruit, with a hint of mineral grip on the finish.

  • Neal Martin, December 2017, Score: 88-90

    The 2016 Puligny Montrachet Village has a crisp and delineated bouquet with fine mineralité and slight touches of linseed. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, not the most complex or tensile village cru that I have tasted at this stage but there is appreciable salinité on the finish. Fine. Drink 2018-2026

  • Burghound, June 2018, Score: 89-91

    A discreet application of wood easily allows the aromas of acacia blossom, lavender, citrus and the essence of white-fleshed fruit to be appreciated. The caressing and quite refined flavors exude a subtle salinity on the refreshing, firm and sneaky long finale. This should make for a very fine villages with a few years of cellaring. Outstanding. Drink: 2023+

  • Decanter, January 2018, Score: 90

    This is very nice, and is certainly one of the best examples of this appellation in 2016. Notes of citrus zest, spring flowers and white peach precede a glossy, cool and elegant palate, with succulent acids, good concentration and a taut finish for the vintage. Drinking Window 2020 - 2030

"One of the greatest white wine domaines in Burgundy" remarked Clive Coates. Doamine Leflaive's vineyards in Puligny Montrachet are steeped in history and the current generation can look back to 1717 for the first Leflaive family occupation of the farm buildings that they use today. The domaine was founded by Joseph Leflaive, who came to Burgundy in 1905. Anne-Claude Leflaive, the granddaughter of Joseph was appointed to run the domaine in 1990. A fervent proponent of biodynamic viticulture, Anne-Claude converted the domaine to biodynamics. After her untimely death in 2015, Brice de La Morandiere's, Anne-Claude's nephew and great grand son of Joseph Leflaive took on the mantle. He upholds the terroir-orientated, sustainable winemaking philosophy of the family.Read less

Region

Puligny Montrachet

Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
