The Clos de la Pucelle is located on the northern end of the vineyard, next door to the large parcel owned by Domaine Leflaive, and the 2018 version is outstanding. The bouquet is pure and classic, delivering a fine aromatic constellation of apple, pear, chalky soil tones, crème patissière, lemon blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, crisp and shows off lovely mid-palate depth, with good acidity and mineral drive, fine focus and grip and a very long, nascently complex and energetic finish. This is first class juice.
