Description
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 of Leflaive and is located just below Folatières, on a deep soil layer with many stones. This white wine is opulent and exudes peach, lemon, apple pie and baking spice aromas and flavours. Well proportioned but needs some time to fully integrate, with a long, complex aftertaste that combines fruit, minerals and herbal elements. Clavoillon produces wines with a lot of structure, that are lively and chalky and have a nice minerality. This Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon is a magnum version of 1.5 liters. Even tastier and with a longer drinking window.
Features of the 2018 vintage
The 2018 vintage was characterized by a warm and dry growing season, resulting in healthy and ripe grapes. These conditions led to wines with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity.
