Once again, Domaine Leflaive has crafted a superb Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles. The 1997 exhibits bright aromatics of lemon juice, stones, and white flowers, as well as a highly-expressive, medium-to-full-bodied character. This wine’s velvety-textured flavor profile is resplendent, serving up layers of nuts, toasty oak, and a fabulous minerality. It has crystalline purity, a rarity in this vintage, and a long, fresh, and defined finish. Projected maturity: 2001-2008. Importer: Wilson Daniels, St. Helena, CA; (707) 963-9661.
