    March 1, 2024 - Per Zufall - von zwei Teilnehmern - den gleichen Wein in der selben Verkostung. Die eine Flasche top: Mittleres Gelb. Die Nase ist still, tiefgründig, mineralisch geprägt, dezent Apfel, Kräuter. Im Gaumen frisch, straff, gut strukturiert, ungemein salzig, wild und doch bei sich mit top Säure und einer sehr guten Länge. Ein ausgezeichneter Wein, aktuell ein Traum, mit guten Reserven. Bis 2030 geniessen. Die zweite Flasche prem-ox - müde, natürlich komplex in der Aromatik aber klar über den Zenith hinaus. Angeblich sei dieses "Problem" bei Leflaive ab dem Jahrgang 2017 behoben. X fingers.

    October 10, 2023 - Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon 2013.
    Aaah, den sexy parfymen til Leflaive er bare så deilig.
    Pen modning i frukten med et lekkert dryss av krydder.
    Super smooth munnfølelse - leken elegant.
    Er midt i sonen nå - drikker som en Gud.
    Dog ingen hast.
    Nydelig frukt og skikkelig fresh.
    Meget presis finish som sitter som et skudd.
    Stram med uttalt mineralitet. 93p

    July 16, 2023 - Deilig, balansert, konsentrert vin med noe modning. Svært lett å like, med intens smak av sitrondrops, Fox, salt smør og ristede nøtter.

    June 5, 2023 - Overripe pineapple on the palate. Tickling acidity on the finish. This needs some type of cheese to latch onto.

    June 2, 2023 - Matchstick, Flint, sea breeze and citrus on the nose. Acid is high and this wine feels so young and fresh for a 2013. A super strong thread of salinity almost Chablis-esque. Perfect pairing with the salmon ceviche we had for our main. This wine is a really really good high acid mineral-driven Chardonnay, but nothing more. There are plenty of Chards for ~$100 that I find just as compelling.

    So rich and deep. What's not to like.

    September 25, 2022 - This exceeded my expectations! Sharp and precise, really nice acidity and solid weight. Super solid effort, in a great place right now. Zero negative signs of age at this point, still super fresh and vibrant.

    July 16, 2022 - Magnum No. 00037. Always fun to taste a wine I have had out of larger formats; this indeed proves to be fresher and larger, but it is Clavoillon still! 91-92

    May 29, 2022 - 醒酒一个小时,淡金黄色,闻香有一些蜂蜜味,漂亮的金银花香气,柠檬,饼干,淡淡芝麻和奶油味,入口酸度高,酒液咸,矿物感清晰,收口微甜,柠檬,橘皮,混合着成熟的蜜桃味,漂亮白花香,酒液在口中油润丝滑,后段淡淡微苦,余味是贯穿始终的漂亮花香,饼干气息和一点冰糖味,随着醒酒时间的增加芝麻香气更加明显,口中的残糖给人感觉越发成熟,但恰如其分的辛辣感提醒你酒还很年轻,非常强健,并不是通过简单醒酒就可以驯服。2013给人感觉非常高的成熟度,橡木桶影响明显,香气华丽,但做得很却很平衡,保持了优雅的身姿,不失结构。酒还很年轻,未来可期。
