A very good bottle of Leflaive Pucelles that burst out popcorn, caramel, yellow fruit and grilled hazelnut. It is rich and vibrant with good complexity and texture. 93-94

Caramel, light sesame and yellow fruit. Classic aged Leflaive that has the richness and texture. Based on the acidity profile of this bottle, it is drinking at its peak.

Outstanding color and condition. Got better in the glass. Began to thicken over time, great muted fruit, crisp, lasting on the palate. Exactly what a great white burgundy should taste like. Elegant!

Thirteenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Chez Weber - Chicago IL): Served half blind (?) since we could see it was Leflaive. Caramelized peach with sweet spice and moderate concentration. Clearly from an older, powerful ripe vintage, I thought either 1989 or 1990. Most people thought that richness indicated Grand Cru, but I thought it 1er Cru. At a great place now.

Not so advanced to be undrinkable, but well past peak
