Note di degustazione
The 2015 Le Clavoillon from Leflaive comes from a site that has a similar location on the slope as the Bâtard-Montrachet lieu-dit. It has a vibrant citrus and white flower-laced style as well as medium body, beautiful tension and depth, bright acidity, and a big, mineral-laced finish. It’s an incredibly promising, lively effort that has a long life ahead of it.

Of all the domaine's wines, Leflaive's 2015 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon is arguably the cuvée that has benefited the most from biodynamic viticulture, as what was formerly a rather foursquare, blocky premier cru in the 1990s is now routinely more dynamic and lively. The 2015 opens in the glass with a pretty bouquet of fresh pear, citrus zest, orange blossom and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is bright, energetic and pure with good depth and a tangy, penetrating finish. While the race is close today, the Clavoillon is holding more in reserve than the domaine's excellent Puligny Village, and its acids are brighter, so this will reward a bit of patience.
Pressing was quite difficult. Herbal blossoms on the nose. Tight and neat without the pzazz of Dos d’Âne but it will presumably flower eventually. There seems a slightly lack of juice here at the moment with a strong phenolic note and a chalky finish.
