This 2020 Les Pucelles opens with a refined pale lemon hue and an impeccably gracious nose full of ripe white fruit. The palate is sumptuous yet energetic—think lemon cake, apple tart, and spicy vanilla—supported by crystalline acidity and a lingering mineral finish that elevates its vigour. Reviewers consistently laud it as “muscular for Pucelles,” with Wine Spectator giving it 95, Wine Advocate 94, Vinous 93, and Burghound in the 93–96 range. Jasper Morris awarded 96–97, calling it “the quintessence of Pucelles.” Anticipated drinking window spans from 2025 through the early 2030s, building toward its zenith in the midst of that period. 

Domaine Leflaive is one of Burgundy’s most venerated estates, rooted in Puligny‑Montrachet since at least 1717, and renowned today for its biodynamic ethos and mastery of terroir expression under the guidance of Anne‑Claude Leflaive and now Brice de La Morandière. Their dedication to clarity and purity is striking across Premier Crus like Les Pucelles, which lie on well-drained clay-limestone soils and have long been celebrated for their elegance and stature.
