Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Pucelles 2020

96-97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Fine pale lemon and lime. What a beautifully gracious nose, this is sheer class. All in white fruit with an engaging ripeness, more detail than Combettes, perhaps more weight than Folatières. Quite muscular for Pucelles. An explosion of fruit on the palate, almost too much to take in but there is nothing vulgar here, just the quintessence of Pucelles. Very long indeed, this is really just a babe in arms. (May 2022)"

93-96 points/'Sweet Spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from two very large parcels of vines totaling over 3 ha). Prominent notes of honeysuckle, Granny Smith apples, spice and a plenitude of spice elements are similarly wonderfully fresh and bright. The rich, delicious and succulent medium-bodied flavors also possess a highly sophisticated mouthfeel along with ample punch on the finely detailed, focused and hugely long finish. This too is a wine of class and grace that should age effortlessly over the next 12 to 15 years. A stunner of a Pucelles. Drink: 2032+. (Jun 2022)"

94-95 points/'Very Fine+,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Pucelles is a real step up in quality and refinement. Extremely delicate, it’s also more precise, giving it the legendary Leflaive Pucelles feeling. It lacks the power of the Montrachet hill, but nevertheless has more than enough oomph to get this mineral beauty airborne. It’s so sensual, and I for one am looking forward to following it on its way toward maturity. I adore this. Drink from 2035. (4/15/22)"

94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, peach and green apple mingled with white flowers, freshly baked bread and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a layered, charming mid-palate and a precise finish, it's a charming, seamless wine in the making. Drink: 2025-2050. (Jan 2023)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "This nose is airy but less ready. Like the nose, this has an airy, fluid, mouth-filling style but without density. Wow wine! – Don’t come here for density, come here for engagement… (Feb 2022)"
