Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru, Clavoillon 2011

Description

Considered by many to represent the pinnacle of Chardonnay, alongside a reputation for excellence, the Clavoillon derives from vines with an average age of 40+ years, all grown on white calcareous soils. Mixed, the combination of vine age and terroir produce wonderfully concentrated wines with a distinct linear backbone of acidity which ensures longevity as well as unfurling power with and ethereal finesse and precision akin to the greatest in the region.
