The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru is one of Domaine Leflaive’s crown jewels, offering grand cru depth and finesse from a premier cru vineyard regarded among the very finest in Puligny. Bordering Bienvenues- and Bâtard-Montrachet, Les Pucelles lies on limestone-rich soils with ideal sun exposure, producing wines that are known for their regal balance of richness and precision. The 2022 vintage, shaped by a warm growing season with well-timed rains, delivered healthy fruit with superb concentration and natural acidity. The wine opens with a refined bouquet of white flowers, lemon oil, pear, almond cream, crushed shell, and a touch of delicate spice from expertly integrated oak. On the palate, it is layered and poised, with a silken texture, brilliant acid tension, and a mineral core that drives a long, elegant finish. There is an effortless harmony here—generous but not heavy, vibrant yet serene. While approachable in youth, this wine has the structure

Domaine Leflaive stands as one of Burgundy’s most revered and influential estates, a benchmark for Chardonnay not only in Puligny-Montrachet but across the wine world. With a history dating back to the early 20th century, the domaine was transformed into a global reference point under the stewardship of Anne-Claude Leflaive, a visionary leader and one of the earliest advocates of biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy. Since the mid-1990s, Leflaive has cultivated its vineyards with an unwavering respect for nature, emphasizing soil vitality, vine balance, and minimal intervention in the cellar. The estate’s holdings include some of the finest terroirs in the Côte de Beaune, and every wine produced reflects a quiet power, precision, and purity that is unmistakably Leflaive. Today, under the continued guidance of Brice de La Morandière, the domaine remains a paragon of elegance, producing wines of profound terroir expression and age-worthy grace.
