Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Clavoillon 2018

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "This is complex with a lees-infused feel to it, beautifully interwoven. Lively fruit bright and a fine sense of tension, with a little bit of contrasting orange blossom and greengage fruit. An interesting chat followed with Brice de la Morandière on the place of Clavoillon in the 1er cru hierarchy. He feels it has considerably advanced in the years since biodynamic farming has been employed. (Nov 2019)"

90-93 and 'Outstanding,' points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(Leflaive is the largest holder of Clavoillon with a whopping 4.8 ha parcel that averages 40+ years of age). An attractively layered nose combines lovely floral notes with those of citrus peel, pear and soft spice hints. The racy and tension-filled medium weight flavors possess excellent detail on the palate coating finish that is at once clean, dry and, minerally and youthfully austere. I would further observe that this is a wine that has made considerable progress over the last 10 years, and the 2018 is only the latest confirmation of that progress. In short, this is really quite promising. Drink: 2028+. (Jun 2020)"

92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "A fine effort, the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon wafts from the glass with notes of white flowers, crisp yellow orchard fruit, fresh pastry and blanched almonds. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, it's elegant and fine-boned, with—as I observed last year—none of the blockiness of yesteryear's Clavoillon. Drink: 2023-2045. (Jan 2021)"
