2016 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon

Domaine Leflaive is one of the most prestigious wineries in Burgundy, best known for its exceptional white wines, made from Chardonnay grapes. Located in the village of Puligny-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Leflaive is known for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and its emphasis on expressing the unique terroir.

The premier cru Clavoillon vineyard is a single parcel of vines planted between 1959 and 1988. It is the largest parcel in Leflaive and lies just below Folatières, on a deep, stony soil. This white wine is opulent and exudes peach, lemon, apple pie and baking spice aromas and flavours. Well-proportioned but taking some time to fully integrate, with a long, complex aftertaste that combines fruit, minerals and spice elements. Clavoillon produces wines with lots of structure, that are lively and chalky and have a nice minerality.

Features of the 2016 vintage

The 2016 vintage was marked by challenging weather conditions in Burgundy. Spring frost and hail caused significant yield losses, making the grape harvest scarce but of very high quality. The smaller harvest allowed for a greater concentration of flavours and aromas, often making these wines deeper and richer.
