2023 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru has a more backward bouquet with touches of petrichor and green apple unfolding in the glass, quite strict compared to the other cuvées. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. There is a touch of reduction at the moment, but it is simpatico with the fruit and feels lightly spiced on the peppery finish. This will require a couple of years once in bottle.
