Domaine Leflaive's near-monopoly on Clavoillon, planted to Chardonnay only after phylloxera replanted what had been Pinot Noir for centuries, gives this 2022 Premier Cru a singular character shaped by deep vineyard command. Minerality and precision define the mid-palate, the terroir of one climat expressed without compromise. This is Puligny-Montrachet with the weight of history and ownership behind it.

Winemaker Notes

With ownership of over 85% of the climat and only one other family vinifying the Premier Cru Clavoillon, Domaine Leflaive controls the destiny of the name. Situated just north of Les Pucelles, this wine could have had a better fate if the vineyard wasn’t planted to Pinot Noir for hundreds of years before phylloxera impacted the region. It is only in the early 20th century that it was replanted, and this time with Chardonnay.
