1998 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les PucellesChardonnay more |
6/24/2019 - dchain Likes this wine: 93 points2nd bottle from a 90 bottle lot! This one had a French tax label on the top of the capsule. A bit fresher than the bottle a few weeks ago. Liquid popcorn, golden apple and a lovely fresh uplift to it. Very close to grand cru quality and delicious drinking. |

6/11/2019 - dcwino wrote: 94 pointsFive winos excellent adventure , mostly in Burgundy; 6/7/2019-6/15/2019 (Beaune, France): Expressive nose displaying ripe white fruit, pear, banana, pineapple, lemon oil, sweet spices, light honey and limestone. Exceptional concentration, i.e. most concentrated 1er crus, dense sweet yellow fruit, rich and dense without being heavy, bright acidity, strong mineral and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish. Really impressive but I slightly prefer the purity and exceptional detail of the Combettes. |

6/15/2019 - Jammy Wine Likes this wine: 92 pointsWines from Domaine Leflaive before 2004 vintage are stunning and are rarely premoxed. This bottle of 1998 Pucelles is even fresher than the last one I had a couple months ago. Layers of golden orchard fruits, smoked nutmeg and spices, waxy layers of lemon. Mild sour citrus fruit and waxy honey on the finish. Complex and intriguing, it has got the Leflaive magic and Pucelles is knocking on Grand Cru doors. (92/100) |

6/6/2019 - dchain Likes this wine: 92 pointsVC went mad and bought a 90 bottle lot of this because it was cheap so I thought we better try it out given the massive failure of Leflaive to manage its premox issues from 95 onwards. Slightly concerned on first pour given the light golden hue from the wine but on the nose is surprisingly fresh with golden apple, beeswax (but thankfully not too dominant) and some nice minerality also showing through. Very complex on the palate with a hint of Chevalier notes this was really enjoyed by all except MaMa who complained it was “too buttery”. I didn’t agree with that description but it certainly had that butter popcorn/kernel note that might be a bit too much for those who prefer the Roulot style of minimalist wine making. Almost old fashioned in a sense but like the classics there is a greatness to them. Not sure we need 89 of these so will sell at least half but buy and enjoy this for a good example of what white burgundy can deliver! Drink with confidence for the next 2-3 years at least. |

5/25/2019 - vinhonotte Likes this wine: 91 pointsFine Wines SG - White Burgundy Grand Cru Tasting (Fine Wines SG): A very sure sweetness on the nose, with melon, sugarcane, grass, nutmeg, and bread. Acidic and warm, with lemons, apricot, and a bit of honeycomb. Fairly long |

Light on the palate, precise. I wished for a bit more volume but the overall balance and precision are impressive and with Leflaive, lucky that it is not premoxed. 93-95 |

5/15/2019 - The Vines That Bind wrote: NRShowing slight oxidization through the extreme ripeness. Shouldn’t be surprising but still kind of hard to accept. A real roasted marshmallow characteristic, kind of smouldering synthetic frosting. Extremely ripe and exotic, tropical yellow fruit. I actually think it’s pretty good for the vintage and don’t mind drinking this at all, but MP, a deep Coche collector and white burgundy expert, was quick to point out that this was incorrect. One somm said good, another said less than good. Opened a 2010 Combottes which put an end to the discussion pretty quickly as it was extremely sharp and fresh. Will try another one shortly, but I’m still ~92 on this. |

1993 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les PucellesChardonnay more |
5/6/2019 - Burgnick Likes this wine: 93 pointsIn a flight of 93 Leflaive Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet and Pucelles, this bottle really outperformed its pedigree. The most youthful wine among the three probably because of provenance. Grilled nut, flint and citrus on the nose. Palate was intiially leaner compared to the other two big boys. But it gained considerable weight and volume in the glass, releasing that old leflaive honeysucle and nut fruit. The length was certainly shorter compared with the two grand cru, but it reallg stood out within its own class. A really superb pucelles. A great entry point to taste a great old leflaive at a relatively affordable price. 93+++ |

4/26/2019 - dcwino wrote: 95 points1996 Burgundy Retrospective - The First Session (Clarity - Vienna, Virginia): Perfectly mature energetic nose displaying ripe yet precise yellow citrus fruit, light caramel, a hint of matchstick, sesame, spice spices and limestone mineral. Beautifully integrated palate, finely layered concentrated sweet yellow fruit, exceptional precision and focus, bright acidity, strong mineral and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish with matchstick and sesame at the end. Almost identical expression as the bottle from 2016. |

3/31/2019 - Jammy Wine Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis 1998 Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles is incredibly fresh and vibrant, a textbook showcase of Leflaive in the golden era. Pucelles is knocking on Grand Cru doors, offering a complex array of flavours - Reductive struck-match / gasoline and burnt popcorn with a layer of ripe orchard fruits. Good complexity and energy. Everyone thought it was showing much younger it is. Textured lees, expansive on the palate, Pucelles sappy-waxy finish. (92/100) |

2000 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les PucellesChardonnay more |
3/29/2019 - Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 96 pointsMAN did I get a great batch on these 2000's! This is the 5th bottle I've had, and all have been outstanding! Rich and buttery, showing GC weight, yet still bursting with citrus cut and saline crushed geology. Little more oak spice showing than the last bottle 2yrs ago, but well integrated with the ripe orchard fruits...very fresh tasting with match strike reduction embalming, lemon wax shine...aged nuances of dried honey, white truffle, wet limestone chalk. Wonderful fullness and length...becomes a symphony of pleasure after a a few sips. This is why we do it! Great wine! |

2/18/2019 - Goldstone Likes this wine: 93 pointsLa Nuit des Garcons (Grill Restaurant, Hong Kong Country Club, Hong Kong): Second of my case opened with friends as part of a '3 blind whites' start to our dinner. Light honey gold colour. Typical Leflaive nose of initial slightly burnt rubber and new bicycle inner tubes with the french chalk....charred lemon skins but still very young and is all high piano notes (no sign whatsoever of premox here). Palate is immediately rich, almost like sweet potato, slightly sweet other tones, very rounded pebbles in a stream....then mounting power and resonance with a growing combination of white nougat and light honey. So powerful on the finish but so little weight. Will definitely improve but already a solid 93+. This is what great white Burgundy is all about. |

2/24/2019 - The Vines That Bind wrote: 93 pointsNose is fresh and clean, mild Leflaive sulphur but not particularly reductive, more white floral, also nice spice, great vanilla bean. An intriguing buttery white asparagus. Gold yellow fruit is open and super ripe but is still crisp, fresh, and tight. Very impressed. Palate has remarkable acid for the vintage and cuts the rich fruit with great stoney minerality. Tropical, fibrous pineapple. Maybe I’ve just been starved for good White Burgundy lately or that I haven’t been impressed with a Leflaive 1er in a while, but I kind of can’t believe how good this is. Long finish with plenty of staying power. 93-94. |
