Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 2022 1er Cru ‘Clavoillon’

The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Clavaillon 1er Cru is much more backward and rocky on the nose; sea spray and crustacea come through with aeration. The palate is fresh and malic, with plenty of energy. It is a little spicy towards the finish with a persistent peppery aftertaste. The palate was more expressive on the day that I tasted it, though it seemed just a couple of paces behind Leflaive's other Premier Crus. Cellar for two or three years. 91 PointsNeal Martin, Vinous Media May 2024
