In 2022, Domaine Leflaive’s Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon Premier Cru shows a more serious, tightly wound side of the vintage: cool-toned citrus and white orchard fruits are wrapped in a compact, chalky frame, with a touch of reduction and subtle florals keeping the nose discreet for now. The palate has notably more volume and concentration than usual for Clavoillon, delivering vivid acidity, a sleek, textural mid-palate and a long, precise finish with a faint spice note that suggests real aging potential. This is a disciplined, rock-edged expression of a generally generous year, and patience will be well rewarded.

Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon Premier Cru from Domaine Leflaive is a benchmark white Burgundy, a biodynamically farmed, single-parcel Chardonnay (4.79 ha) on clay-limestone soils just north of Les Pucelles in Puligny. With Leflaive owning over 85% of this long-established climat and aging the wine 12 months in oak (about 22% new) then 6 months in tank, it typically shows precise, saline, citrus-and-white-flower-driven Puligny character with a quietly powerful, mineral core.
