Tasting notes
Leflaive's 2001 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles is drinking very well today, offering up notes of confit citrus fruit, buttered toast and honeycomb, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave palate that's sensual and enveloping, animated by racy acids.

Interestingly, the 2001 Puligny-Montrachet Pucelles has the same “tannic” finish as encountered with the Clavoillon. Its expressive, floral and spice-laden nose leads to a light-bodied, pear, mineral, and gravel-flavored core. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Jun 2003, www.robertparker.com
