Vinous (90-93)(Ente's brother Benoit used to make this wine; from vines planted in 1957): Exotic pineapple and lichee scents are lifted by flowers, spices and noble herbs.

Burghound (96)A highly restrained nose requires considerable swirling to liberate the beautifully well-layered aromas of mineral reduction, white rose, spice, citrus and a wisp of exotic tea. Like the Pucelles there is excellent richness and detail and much more minerality-suffusing the almost painfully intense finale that is breathtaking in its persistence. This is a gem of a Puligny 1er and in 2016 is a lovely blend of power and finesse. In sum, this is a knockout. |

Burghound (96)(Outstanding) This is perhaps the most floral-suffused nose in the range with its aromas of essence of pear and plenitude of spice and citrus elements. Once again, the mid-palate mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is absolutely gorgeous, which contrasts noticeably with the cuts-like-a-knife finish that remains ultra-refined, balanced and persistent. This is most impressive, particularly for the remarkably fine volume and power that is delivered with grace and class. |

Burghound (96)A highly restrained nose requires considerable swirling to liberate the beautifully well-layered aromas of mineral reduction, white rose, spice, citrus and a wisp of exotic tea. Like the Pucelles there is excellent richness and detail and much more minerality-suffusing the almost painfully intense finale that is breathtaking in its persistence. This is a gem of a Puligny 1er and in 2016 is a lovely blend of power and finesse. In sum, this is a knockout. |

Burghound (96)(Outstanding) This is perhaps the most floral-suffused nose in the range with its aromas of essence of pear and plenitude of spice and citrus elements. Once again, the mid-palate mouthfeel of the medium-bodied flavors is absolutely gorgeous, which contrasts noticeably with the cuts-like-a-knife finish that remains ultra-refined, balanced and persistent. This is most impressive, particularly for the remarkably fine volume and power that is delivered with grace and class. |

Vinous (89)The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Village, a blend of several parcels, has a light Granny Smith and wet limestone-scented bouquet. It could benefit from more intensity. The palate is well balanced with more depth than expected, fine acidity though it just misses a little complexity and tension on the finish. |

Burghound (90-93)A ripe, fresh, elegant, expressive and classy nose of green apple, pear and a hint of honeysuckle trimmed in a bit of wood toast leads to rich, full and impressively concentrated flavors that possess palate staining intensity on the opulent, powerful and explosive finish. This is a big but balanced effort. |

Wine & Spirit Magazine (93)This wine?s fresh scents of pear blossom bring to mind an orchard in spring. The flavors are full and rich, the sweetness of the wine balanced by gentle, persistent acidity. It feels silken, the texture buffed with lime and limestone. Clean and complete, this should reach its best five or six years from the vintage. |

Wine Spectator (93)A fresh style, with a gossamer texture framing lemon, apple and white peach flavors. Accents of baking spices and mineral add depth as this unfolds to a long, intense aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2025. |

Vinous (93)The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon 1er Cru has a delineated and tightly coiled nose with crushed stone-infused green apple, rather fresh considering the growing season, with hints of grass clipping. The palate is cohesive on the entry with a bitter lemon note that lends this Puligny tension; it's fresh and saline with a cohesive and persistent finish. Very classy and has immense promise. |

Vinous (90)Peach and smoky oak on the reticent nose. Sweet, full and pure, with subtle floral and spice flavors. Offers a good chewy texture and solid underlying structure, but comes across as considerably less minerally than the young 2002. |

Vinous (88)Medium yellow. Less vintage-typical aromas of orange, nutmeg and flint. Then more vibrant in the mouth, with a fine-grained texture and enticing floral lift. A bit warm on the end, but finishes with very good thrust and length. This has finesse for a 2003. |

Wine & Spirit Magazine (92)On the hill above Clavoillon, Leflaive?s three parcels of Folatières total 3.11 acres. This is a luscious 2009, with scents of yellow roses, crème caramel, green pear and butterbeans. It combines the warmth of the summer sun with a cooler, autumn apple brightness, a playful balance that shows less potent underlying structure than other Leflaive 1er Crus in this vintage. If you collect them all, start drinking this one first. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)Precise, expressive aromas of lemon, peach, mint and wet stone, with a cool, steely aspect. Dry, intensely flavored, focused and penetrating. Classy and quite long. The best of these premier crus today by a wide margin. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-93)Expressive, musky aromas of peach, lime, quinine, white flowers and spices. Fat, chewy and very rich, with more depth of flavor than the foregoing 2003 samples. The captivating floral quality carries through in the mouth. A distinctly palate-coating wine with excellent stuffing and length. |

Wine Spectator (93)A ripe swath of lime, persimmon, butterscotch and spice notes mark this lush white. It's immediate, with a bright structure, yet remains extremely long and persistent. The finish is its best feature now. Drink now through 2018. 190 cases imported. -BS |
