A classic and ripe Puligny nose features aromas of acacia blossom lemon and spiced pear that merge into seductively textured round and supple medium-bodied flavors that possess really lovely depth and length. This is quite stylish as well as unusually classy particularly for a villages level wine. Outstanding.

Leflaive's 2007 Puligny-Montrachet smells of honeysuckle lily brown-spiced apple lavender vanilla and toasted nuts; makes correspondingly sweet floral and fruity suggestions on a pliable soothing palate; and finishes with considerable polish and persistence if a more austere chalky sense than what went before lead one to anticipate. Parcels informing this blend now inhabit an arc nearly three-quarters of the way around the town insuring significant diversity of terroir.-David Schildknecht
