Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 2010

The Puligny Les Pucelles 2010 from Domaine Leflaive is a magnificent wine. The nose is very pure and expressive with wet stones and a lovely deep citrus infused yellow fruit .. notes of pear with a hint of pineapple and honeysucle. On the palate slightly closed – linear with impressive mindpalate intensity and weight .. all beautifully focused by the energetic minerality and the quite powerful acidity. Its vibrant and with a considerable power .. but still refined and effortless. A bit closed now … but will no doubt be an outstanding Pucelles after 10 to 20 years in the cellar – a brilliant effort.
