Lighter weight still, the most elegant feel of these 3 Premier Crus. Much better fruit/oak balance, terrific acidity, and a more transparent tart soil/mineral finish. This is much more acceptable, but it neither recaptures the past glories of this domain nor justifies its cult pricing. Good aging potential. |

La bouche se montre dense dès l’attaque, le vin enveloppe les papilles et libère une matière très fine, assez saline, avec un final qui va en accentuant et met en valeur tour à tour le fruit, puis la salinité, l’ampleur, le minéral...et ça repart ! Vraiment une superbe bouteille qui envoûterait presque tellement elle se montre savoureuse dès maintenant, même si ce vin est très loin d’avoir tout montré. Excellent !! |

Excellent concentration, beautifully layered pure fresh white fruit, razor like focus and precision, bright acidity, strong crushed rock mineral, and a long pure white fruit driven finish with beeswax and honeysuckle at the end. Excellent showing. I prefer this to Combettes for the focus and precision. |

1/5/2024 - Connaissøren Likes this wine: 95 pointsWhat a wine. Concentrated stuff! Very high acidity, yet a lovely balance. Almost a Riesling lime aftertaste. Quite reductive, but for my taste it is perfect. Long, long aftertaste. Would love to try this again in 5-10 years. |

Exceptional balance and precise, beautifully layered fresh white fruit, so much energy and freshness, bright acidity, strong mineral, and a long perfectly ripe pure white fruit driven finish with honeysuckle and spicy spices at the end. One of the most pure, precise and energetic young white Burgundies of my life. |

4/4/2024 - dcwino wrote: 94 pointsAnother Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): Initially Justin and I worry that this might be too ripe. The color is still pale. Rich expressive nose displaying sweet rich yellow fruit with a hint of white, pineapple, lemon crud, guava, honey, a hint of vanilla/oak, sweet spices and crushed rocks. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated yellow fruit, rich, warm and opulent but also showing excellent precision and focus due to bright acidity and strong mineral. The finish is quite long and displays strong mineral. Although showing the 18 ripeness, it retains nice balance and precision. Drinking well. Given a choice, I would rather buy and drink the 19. |

11/18/2019 - Jammy Wine Likes this wine: 89 pointsLeflaive owns 2.75ha of Pucelles. Opulent nose of dense orchard fruits, buttery and waxy toast with subtle lifted spices. Great density and broad shouldered. Rich and energetic with superb acidity, knocking on Grand Cru doors. (89-90/100) Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

FB (KG arr)): I have been so fortunate to be able to buy directly from the Cellars of Domaine Leflaive 3 rebottled and reconditioned Chevalier and Batard Montrachet 1997 and 2002. First time I taste that old Leflaive. Domaine Leflaive is one of my favourite producers but I have had so many disappointments because of premox. Last time related to 3 (three) bottles of Chevalier Montrachet 2007 - all of them premoxed... |

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. |

8/6/2023 - Ivan Strouchki wrote: 94 pointsThis is at this stage extremely delicate and nuanced, but still far too reticent (or: too demanding on the drinker's attention) for such a fantastic terroir. Fresh oily texture, with alternating layers of white or yellow peach, jasmine and honeysuckle; suggestions of citrus and, equally refreshingly, some white pepper. Very good, if discreet, length. This just needs more time to add weight and expand more generously on all of the above. 2028+ 94-95 |

11/20/2022 - sdr wrote: 90 pointsPerhaps it’s on a dumb phase but this vintage of Pucelles isn’t showing much at this point. Normal youthful color and good intensity but the alcohol is showing which is very unusual for Leflaive. It’s sappy and seems to be concentrated but what fruit there is, is hiding. You can drink it, and it’s still better than a lot of California Chardonnay, but there should be more there. |

5/31/2020 - rlove wrote: 94 pointsSmokey reduction, dense orchard fruit, banana, truffle. Incredible concentration, like one of its neighboring grand crus, with densely packed orchard fruit and minerality. Classic in structure with racey acidity and killer cut. The 2017 Pucelles is excellent. Drink starting 2025. |
