Puligny Montrachet, Clavoillon 1994 Domaine Leflaive Puligny Montrachet, Clavoillon 1994 Domaine Leflaive Cote de Beaune, 1er Cru Excellent levels and appearance Lime and lanolin richness. Great balance and class. Ready to drink and more generous than most 1994s. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 191 4 bts (cn) per lot: GBP 240-320 per lot: USD 380-500 per lot: EUR 300-400 This is a great, if not the great, old family domaine for white Burgundy. It demonstrates what a white wine can be, given the right soil, the right vines and the right combination of tradition and sense of enquiry. It's also the springboard for the whole region's move towards organic grape farming. The domaine is managed by Anne-Claude Leflaive, a worthy successor to the legendary Vincent Leflaive who died in 1993 (and I pay tribute to his skill, integrity, and unmatched joie de vivre). Anne-Claude began the conversion to biodynamics, complete by 1998, and worked with Pierre Morey, her winemaker until 2008, when Eric Remy took over. The wines are bottled after about eighteen months following an elevage in oak pieces and small stainless steel vats. Let yourself be seduced by their honeyed smoothness - if you have not already succumbed to the heady bouquet. I have been both thrilled and uplifted by countless bottles, in all their aristocratic and multi-dimensional glory. These are wines that have highlights and energy.
