The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillons fleshes out beautifully in the glass with layers of expressive, textured fruit. This is one of the more open, forward wines in the lineup. It should drink nicely pretty much upon release. Yellow stone fruits, flowers and a hint of spice wraps around the soft, enveloping finish, where the minerality of the vintage emerges with pretty, finely-knit nuances. Anticipated maturity: 2014+.
Producer
Domaine Leflaive
Today, the Domaine Leflaive stands in the hands of fourth generation, Brice de La Morandiere the great-grandson of founder Joseph Leflaive. Dating back to the 1920s, Joseph undertook the great responsibility of replanting, expanding and revamping the family’s vines in Puligny-Montrachet. Gaining speed in the 1960s and 1970s while under the direction of Joseph’s son Vincent, the estate’s reputation blew up, focusing more on quality, their wines from that moment on have become extremely sought after. With each generation came success. With Vincent’s daughter, the late Anne-Claude for example, the estate became a biodynamic grower-producer further highlighting their already high-quality production. Biodynamic methods help to reflect the elements of the terroir which show through in their balanced, and structured wines. Known as Burgundy’s finest white producer, their wines have brilliant clarity and purity, with complex dimension.
