93-96 points/'Don't miss!/Outstanding' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from two very large parcels of vines totaling over 3 ha). Here too the nose is cool and restrained with a discreet application of wood framing the beautifully layered aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, citrus confit, spice and a variety of floral nuances and in particular, acacia blossom. The refined and strikingly textured medium weight flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration before terminating in a highly persistent, impeccably well-balanced and markedly dry, but not really austere, finale. This beauty is quite understated with the requisite balance and underlying material to reward long-term keeping. In short, this is potentially brilliant. Drink: 2034+. (Jun 2024)"
95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a subtle menthol note in the background, indicative of the concentration bestowed by the growing season. There's a hint of exoticism, yet it doesn't overwhelm the terroir expression. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with a wonderful umami sensation and razor-sharp acidity (incredible in a warm vintage). It is harmonious with a lightly spiced finish and traces of Vervane and white pepper on the aftertaste. Quite mercurial in the glass, I would give this 3-4 years in bottle. Drink: 2028-2048. (Jul 2024)"
94-95 points /'Very Fine,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Pucelles is going from strength to strength at Domaine Leflaive. Pure and delicate (as is the Batard) this is beautifully effortless and refined. In a generous vintage like 2022, I find the refinement interesting, as more expressive terroirs can be over the top as they take on weight with age. This is just so delicate and sensual. Drink from 2035. (5/23/24)"
