The 2015 Pucelles from Domaine Leflaive is also very pretty and stylish, but there is just a touch of almond on the backend of this wine on the palate that indicates that it is a touch deeper-pitched than the stellar Combettes this year. The nose is a very, very stylish blend of white peach, apple, orange zest, crème patissière, chalky soil tones, almond and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and quite primary on the attack, with a generous core, good acids and grip and a very long, focused and complex finish. The closing note of almond and the slightly better backend lift in the Combettes this year gives it the very slight nod over this pretty Pucelles.
