Tasting Notes

WA92

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru les Pucelles from Olivier Leflaive has a very refined and delineated bouquet, the new oak present but nicely embroidered into the citrus fruit and underlying mineral notes. The palate is fresh and crisp, quite assertive and spicy, hints of curry leaves towards the finish that is very complex. This is feistier than its counterpart from Anne-Claude Leflaive, less composed and not quite as much finesse. However there is so much going here that it keeps drawing you in.
