The 2006 Les Pucelles offers a mature, beautifully evolved profile—now revealing aromas of honeycomb, toasted cereal, warmed peaches, and ripe yellow apples once it fully opens. While some note it may be “on its last legs,” this wine still conveys elegant complexity and purity. It holds a strong 92/100 average from critics who praise its buttery and nuanced style, making it a compelling, though now accessible, expression of aged Puligny‑Montrachet.
Domaine Leflaive, located in Puligny‑Montrachet, is one of Burgundy’s most revered estates, historically rooted in the village since 1717 and notably led under biodynamic pioneer Anne‑Claude Leflaive. Among its esteemed holdings, the Les Pucelles Premier Cru stands out, planted on well‑drained clay‑limestone soils and celebrated for delivering Chardonnay of crystalline expression and tension.
