Note di degustazione
2010 was the first vintage after Olivier and his brother Patrick produced their own wine from vineyards which had been re-acquired after being out of the family domaine for a number of years. Franck Grux was their winemaker. In the vineyards, they maintained the identical organic and biodynamic cultivation practices of Domaine Leflaive. This was not oxidised but it was a bit over the hill, having lost a bit of fruit and zest. But I forced it down! Good savour and I'm sure it had good energy and fruit in the past. (JR)

The 2010 Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles shows lovely focus and delineation. Ripe apricots, mint, nectarine and spices flesh out in a relatively broad-shouldered version of Pucelles. There is good intensity in the fruit, even if all the structural elements aren't quite put together, at least not yet. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. Olivier Leflaive's domaine lineup will be getting a big boost in the next few years with the addition of parcels in Sous le Dos d-Ane, Pucelles, Folatieres, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Batard-Montrachet that previously were part of the Domaine Leflaive holdings. In addition, Olivier Leflaive continues with a negociant operation, whose wines are reviewed separately to avoid confusion. Overall, I find the Domaine Olivier Leflaive bottlings more interesting than the Maison wines. All of these 2010s are fairly open and accessible. The best wines may hold for some time, but I don't think cellaring will result in meaningfully more complexity. Importer: Frederick Wildman and Sons Ltd, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
More mineral than the Folatières, more restrained on the nose. Lovely tension just balanced by a gentle creaminess on the palate. Great harmony and length. (JH)
