Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon — 2019 – Bughound – 94 Points
An overtly floral suffused nose displays notes of pear compote, citrus confit and subtle spice wisps. There is excellent vibrancy to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that also exude a refreshing salinity on the citrusy, dry and notably more complex finish that is perceptibly firmer. This should age well.
