The palate is fresh and taut with a silver bead of acidity. Vibrant, surfeit and energetic, this is a seriously fine Village Cru flirting with Premier Cru complexity. (Drink between 2026-2038).\" \u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE WINE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biodynamically grown Chardonnay grapes. Manual harvesting with grape sorting and optimisation of choice of date through parcel-by-parcel ripeness monitoring. \u003cspan\u003eLong, gentle pneumatic pressing, decanting over 24 hours, then racking and running into barrels. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak casks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAging 12 months in barrels on lees then 10 months in stainless steel tank on fine lees. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptional fining and light filtration if necessary.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine Leflaive is the most famous estate in Puligny-Montrachet. Anne-Claude Leflaive became co-gérant of this famous Puligny domaine in 1990 - she had long believed that the use of fertilisers and herbicides was doing serious long-term damage to the soil in Burgundy and one of her first innovations was to move towards an organic approach to her vineyards. \u003cspan\u003eAfter seven years of experiments, with one third of the domaine biodynamic and two thirds organic, the whole domaine was converted to biodynamic farming in 1997, following in the footsteps of Lalou Bize-Leroy and Nicolas Joly. The wines are aged for 12 months in 25% new oak and are then transferred to steel tanks where they are allowed to clarify naturally over the second winter. They are then fined and bottled. Leflaive produces superb wines that combine richness and depth of fruit with elegance, refinement and perfect balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUB-REGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Puligny-Montrachet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePierre Vincent\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal Intervention, Biodynamic Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Perth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47403532681365,"sku":"6019","price":490.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/P1260111.jpg?v=1780905850","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/domaine-leflaive-puligny-montrachet-2023","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
