“An ultra-pure and high-toned nose of mineral-based reduction, spiced pear and acacia blossom gives way to overtly stony and quite finely detailed broad-shouldered flavors that…are crystalline in their transparency.”

“…What impresses me more is just how refined this is even in the context of a vintage that is not naturally given to much refinement. A knockout and for the first time in recent memory, this is every bit as good as the Bâtard in 2009.”

"The supple, round and imposingly scaled big-bodied flavors are impressively concentrated and while quite powerful, they are also quite seductively textured before culminating in an explosive yet impeccably well-balanced finish."

"...in particular pear, leads to rich, forward and wonderfully opulent medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that coats the palate on the refined and impressively long finish."

“A very ripe yellow fruit and floral infused nose complements to perfection the rich, full-bodied and powerful flavors that also possess an opulent mid-palate, all wrapped in a palate staining and seductively textured finish."

“…mostly yellow orchard fruit aromas hint at the presence of mango and papaya…round and mouth coating flavors exude plenty of dry extract that buffers the moderately firm acid spine on the lightly mineral-driven and persistent finish.”

“…impressive size and weight to the dramatically powerful, rich and concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess obvious muscle and simply fantastic length on the overtly austere, deep and palate staining finish. This is a dazzling effort…”

“There is the same exquisite purity to the strikingly intense and beautifully well-detailed flavors that ooze both a fine minerality and plenty of dry extract that imparts a wonderfully seductive texture to the explosive yet refined finish."

“It's never clear in advance between the Combettes and Pucelles as to which of them will be the best 1er in the Leflaive cellars but in 2010 it's simply no contest because while the Combettes is indeed impressive…Pucelles is just at another level.”

“The attractively energetic and precise flavors reflect the ripeness of the nose as this is more generous than it usually is, indeed it is unusually forward and approachable relative to its usual restrained feel at this early stage.”
