Puligny-Montrachet Wines

Sort By:

Domaine Leflaive 2007 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Price $260

A powerful wine, showing rich, opulent Chardonnay. The spice and acidity crispen the wine, but leave the powerful fruit in all its glory. — R.V. (7/1/2010)

Domaine Leflaive 2003 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Editors' Choice

Price $175

As Anne-Claude Leflaive describes it, this wine is all about the complexity of the vineyard’s soil. There is minerality and finesse from the chalk, which gives a structure. And at the same time the ripe fruit seems opulent, with vanilla and spice flavors adding something exotic. Age this wine for at least 5 years. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

Domaine Michel Bouzereau 2008 Le Cailleret Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Online Exclusive

Price $75

An opulent, weighty wine, packed with lemon fruits, wood caramel sweetness and a delicious tasty character. It is lip-smacking in its ripeness and freshness, the final flavor bringing together acidity and a creamy texture. — R.V. (11/1/2010)

Domaine Leflaive 2009 Les Folatières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Cellar Selection

Price $215

A wine that brings out intense minerality, a tight citric tang and a beautiful structure. With its lime and grapefruit acidity laid over ripe yellow fruits shot through with toast, this is a wine that should age many years, mellowing into an open, generous richness. — R.V. (5/1/2012)

Domaine Leflaive 2008 Les Pucelles Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Cellar Selection

Price $260

A fine, elegant wine, with balanced toast and acidity, great ripe apricot flavors along with spice from the toast, acidity, citrus and a hint of ginger. Still very young, this pure fruited wine could age over 6–10 years. — R.V. (5/1/2011)

Domaine Leflaive 2003 Clavoillon Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Price $113

It’s not so much the fruit but the richness and concentration that mark this wine. Yet it’s not superripe because of the hot 2003 vintage. This wine, with its origins in biodynamically grown grapes, preserves a great purity of fruit as it layers intense almond and citrus flavors over vanilla and yellow fruit tastes. It should age well. — R.V. (12/1/2006)

Olivier Leflaive 2009 Les Pucelles Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $137

An impressive wine, very much for aging. It has rich fruit, laced with the purest acidity, lemon vying with ripe white peaches. With great richness come weight and intensity, the toast giving an extra dimension. Age for 4–6 years. — R.V. (12/31/2011)

Chanson Père et Fils 2007 Les Folatières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Puligny-Montrachet)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $115

A beautifully ripe wine, full of spice and mineral, the yellow fruits rich over the acidity and light toasty element. The weight is the thing here, intense great swathes of fruit. — R.V. (11/1/2010)
