Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon 2013

The Puligny Clavoillon is a step up in quality. In the nose expressive fruit notes of acacia blossom, white peach, pear supported by a generous citrus infused minerality. On the palate lovely concentration … quite intense and vibrant with a lovely drive and nerve from the crisp acidity. Really like the expression of terroir and balance in this wine … don’t overlook Clavoillon in the quest for the bigger wines.
