Puligny-Montrachet les Clavoillon, 1992, Domaine Leflaive

Two consistent notes, making me aware that I maybe prefer leflaive wines of vintages less fat than 1992. This is a beautifully rich Clavoillon, no doubt. But the richness of the 1992 vintage gives the wine much more thickness and body, so pushing the terroir and the tautness I so much like in a Puligny slightly to the background. For the rest and by more objective measures a perfect Clavoillon, in colour, nose, taste, finish and balance. A trifle too plump for me though.

Last tasted September 1996.
