95 Robert Parker
The 2012 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles has an energetic bouquet with very fine delineation: scents of cold limestone, apple blossom and flint emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a round, sensual opening. There is very good matiere here with an impressive, honeysuckle-tinged finish that lingers long in the mouth. Excellent.
94 Wine Spectator
A racy, delineated white, whose lemon, hazelnut and mineral flavors ride the racy structure to a lingering conclusion. Long and mouthwatering, with a savory, minerally aftertaste. Best from 2017 through 2026. 74 cases imported. –BS

Producer
Domaine Leflaive
Today, the Domaine Leflaive stands in the hands of fourth generation, Brice de La Morandiere the great-grandson of founder Joseph Leflaive. Dating back to the 1920s, Joseph undertook the great responsibility of replanting, expanding and revamping the family’s vines in Puligny-Montrachet. Gaining speed in the 1960s and 1970s while under the direction of Joseph’s son Vincent, the estate’s reputation blew up, focusing more on quality, their wines from that moment on have become extremely sought after. With each generation came success. With Vincent’s daughter, the late Anne-Claude for example, the estate became a biodynamic grower-producer further highlighting their already high-quality production. Biodynamic methods help to reflect the elements of the terroir which show through in their balanced, and structured wines. Known as Burgundy’s finest white producer, their wines have brilliant clarity and purity, with complex dimension.
