Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 2020

93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Although there is a continuity in the style, the puligny-montrachet makes us change register. Immediately, it seizes us by the elegance of a pure and posed fruit. A wine with a fine attack which deploys a beautiful energy on the finish, with a pleasant lemony note and an intense salinity. (2023)"

92 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Just bottled at the end of April. Made from the usual six plots. A pale lemon yellow. The nose has been knocked back a bit and is not yet showing much fruit. Then a little white fruit starts to emerge with some graphite, and a little bit of gunflint. Racy yet ripe with several layers of flavour and excellent length, the acidity perfectly wound in. On the assumption that the bouquet comes back as it should a little later on, after getting over the bottling, this will surely be a 5 star wine. (May 2022)"

92 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "Pure and silky in texture, revealing lemon, apple, mineral and oak spice flavors. Seamless and balanced, with lively acidity guiding the lingering aftertaste of citrus, orchard fruit and spices. Drink now through 2030. (6/30/23)"

'Outstanding'/90-92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from several different lieux-dits, 30% of which is from Brélance with major contributions from Les Tremblots and Grands Champs). Smoky aromas of petrol, citrus confit and spicy pear lead to racy, elegant and more refined medium weight flavors that at once fine but dense, all wrapped in a solidly lengthy and beautifully well-balanced finale. This is already developing fine complexity and it has all it needs to reward up to a decade of keeping. Drink: 2027+. (Jun 2022)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(4.6 ha from around the village). Extra drive and direction – this is super. Here it’s the structure that’s more visible – chiselled but never hard. Thats very impressive, just a faint softening of the edges great finishing. (Feb 2022)"
