2016 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet

Other Reviews....
The 2016 Puligny Montrachet Village has a crisp and delineated bouquet with fine mineralité and slight touches of linseed. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, not the most complex or tensile village cru that I have tasted at this stage but there is appreciable salinité on the finish. Fine.

(only modest crop losses to frost and mildew here): Tight nose offers scents of mirabelle, grapefruit and anise. This, too, conveys an impression of creaminess, but is more concentrated than the Bourgogne Blanc in spite of the closer-to-normal vine yields here. Finishes with a firm edge that calls for a year or two of patience.

Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

A discreet application of wood easily allows the aromas of acacia blossom, lavender, citrus and the essence of white-fleshed fruit to be appreciated. The caressing and quite refined flavors exude a subtle salinity on the refreshing, firm and sneaky long finale. This should make for a very fine villages with a few years of cellaring.

Pale greenish straw. Much less open on the nose than the Bourgogne Blanc just tasted. Very tightly wound with lots of chew and citrus notes. All to play for with real tension and elegance.
