Description

Burgundy is a land destined for wine by nature. In its millennial history, it has intimately linked man to the vine in some places. In Puligny-Montrachet, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the Leflaive family has been established for more than three centuries.

Burgundy’s wines have acquired a simple and unique reputation: they are the best Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs in the world. Each appellation comes from a specific place, a parcel of vines often of modest size: these famous “Climats” form the basis of the Burgundy model. The diversity of Burgundy’s wines is also found in its 84 appellations, from the grands crus at the top of the pyramid through the premiers crus and the villages to the regional AOCs. More than a classification or a nomenclature, these are names that amateurs dream about: Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Corton, Meursault... Or even, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet, where the Leflaive family has been established since 1717.

A bright, perfumed white, boasting floral, white peach, lemon zest and pastry aromas and flavors. Silky in texture and harmonious, this persists on the long, vanilla- and mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2033.

Review
Ripe but cool and airy aromas include those of acacia blossom, citrus confit and crushed fennel. There is fine punch and a notably more sophisticated texture to the medium-bodied flavors that deliver excellent length on the youthfully austere and quite dry finale. This could use more depth so I would suggest allowing this at least a few years of cellar time. Note: from several different lieux-dits, 30% of which is from Brélance with additional contributions from Les Tremblots and Grands Champs. Drink 2029+

Review
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Village is a big step up from the Bourgogne Blanc in this vintage, with crisp green apple, crushed stone and light orange blossom scents. The palate is fresh and taut with a silver bead of acidity. Vibrant, surfeit and energetic, this is a seriously fine Village Cru flirting with Premier Cru complexity. Drink 2026–2038.
