Product Description
Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Les Pucelles” 2022 is a benchmark white Burgundy that perfectly balances richness and precision.

This is a Premier Cru that consistently performs at Grand Cru level, offering both immediate appeal and long-term cellaring potential.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Domaine Leflaive, one of Burgundy’s most revered Chardonnay producers, this wine comes from the famed Les Pucelles vineyard in Puligny-Montrachet.
Key production elements:
- 100% Chardonnay from Premier Cru Les Pucelles
- Vineyard located adjacent to Bâtard- and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Crus
- Planted on limestone-rich soils, driving precision and minerality
- Farmed using biodynamic viticulture, a defining Leflaive principle
- Vinified in oak barrels (≈20–25% new oak) with extended élevage

👉 One of the greatest Premier Cru sites in Burgundy

The 2022 vintage is notable for:
- Ripeness and generosity balanced by preserved acidity
- Wines that are accessible earlier, yet still structured for aging
