This Puligny Montrachet is full bodied and elegant on the palate. Flavors of mineral, green apple and honey combine perfectly with lightly toasted oak and vanilla in a young, tightly wound package. On the palate, the wine is elegant and lively with a very long persistence. Olivier Leflaive’s village level Puligny Montrachet is sourced from 21 separate plots throughout the appellation. The unique characteristics of each plot combine in the bottle to provide a wine of great richness, complexity and ageability. About the Winery: Olivier Leflaive was born into one of the most legendary Burgundian estates which he co-managed before starting his own venture, which is now legendary itself, Olivier Leflaive in 1985. This project allowed him to play with more wines outside of what his family owned in Puligny-Montrachet. Working with his winemaker, Franck Grux, they always focused on quality and transparency. The wines are hallmarks of elegance and purity rather than muscle and are more than worthy of the famous Leflaive name. Critical Acclaim: 2017: 92 points Wine Spectator, 92 points Wine Enthusiast, 91 points Burghound "Fermented and aged in wood, this is a rich wine. Its spice, ripe pineapple and mango flavors and dense texture show intense freshness as well as layers of toast, a complex texture and a short aging potential." Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 92 points “The velvety texture of this white is an ideal vehicle for the peach, hazelnut, baking spice and pastry flavors. Remains focused and long, courtesy of the lemony acidity. Drink now through 2024.” Wine Spectator
