Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Clavoillon 2022

96 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$520 list] Though delineated by its vibrant acidity, this white shows some weight, with a creamy texture enveloping flavors of vanilla, buttery croissant, lime blossoms and hazelnut. Lithe and persistent on the finish, where accents of lime blossoms, citronella and baking spices prevail. Drink now through 2032. (12/4/24)"

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This emblematic premier cru is a lovely introduction to Domaine Leflaive, with hints of passionfruit, pomelo, coconut milk, spice and smoke. The texture is lush with extract, but there is enough acidity to bring everything into balance. Although this 2022 doesn’t show the same intensity or concentration of the other premier cru wines, the combination of ripe fruit and smoky reductive notes make it a tempting wine for mid-term cellaring. Drinking Window: 2027-2035. (5/23/24)"

92-94 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(Leflaive is the largest holder of Clavoillon with a whopping 4.8 ha holding that averages 40+ years of age). There is just enough reduction to push the fruit to the background though a whiff of floral character can be discerned. On the palate there is both more volume and concentration to the beautifully textured middleweight flavors that are also appealingly vibrant and particularly so on the complex, balanced and impressively long finale. This is notably better than it usually is and a wine that should amply repay a decade or so of keeping. Drink: 2032+. (Jun 2024)"

93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon unwinds in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of pear, sweet citrus zest, wet stones and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy, it's bright and saline, with a long, penetrating finish. Drink: 2027-2050. (Oct 2017)"
