Ripe orchard fruit, citrus, and white peach are layered with subtle floral notes, almond, and fine lees complexity. The palate is broad and polished, yet fresh acidity and a chalky mineral backbone preserve definition through the long, balanced finish.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe 2015 growing season brought rapid maturation and sustained summer heat, with temperatures frequently rising above 30°C. Timely rainfall in early August restarted the ripening process, while exceptionally healthy grapes retained good acidity despite the accelerated season. Harvest began on August 28, making it one of the earliest harvests in the domaine’s history.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Why We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Produced from Domaine Leflaive’s substantial holding in Clavoillon Premier Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n• Biodynamic farming and parcel-by-parcel monitoring preserve vineyard expression\u003cbr\u003e\n• The warm 2015 vintage delivers depth and ripeness without sacrificing freshness\u003cbr\u003e\n• Extended aging on lees builds texture, complexity, and precision\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Seared scallops with beurre blanc\u003cbr\u003e\n• Roasted turbot or Dover sole\u003cbr\u003e\n• Lobster, crab, or langoustines\u003cbr\u003e\n• Roast chicken with morels\u003cbr\u003e\n• Comté, Beaufort, or aged goat cheese\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👤 Who This Wine Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n✓ Collectors of Domaine Leflaive and Premier Cru white Burgundy\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Chardonnay lovers seeking richness balanced by mineral precision\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Drinkers who appreciate structured, age-worthy Puligny-Montrachet\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Those looking for a generous yet refined expression of the 2015 vintage\u003cbr\u003e\n✕ Not ideal if you prefer light, simple, fruit-forward Chardonnay\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚙️ Production\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe biodynamically farmed Chardonnay grapes were harvested by hand, sorted, and selected according to parcel-by-parcel ripeness monitoring. After long, gentle pneumatic pressing, the juice settled for 24 hours before being racked into barrels. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations took place in oak casks. The wine aged for 12 months in barrel on lees, followed by 10 months in stainless steel on fine lees. Fining and light filtration were used only if necessary.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Leflaive","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 1 bottle","offer_id":48068858085428,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 6 bottles","offer_id":48068861034548,"sku":null,"price":4050.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"750ml \/ 12 bottles","offer_id":48068861067316,"sku":null,"price":7650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1739\/2436\/files\/domaine-leflaive-puligny-montrachet-premier-cru-clavoillon-burgundy-france.png?v=1780604070","url":"https:\/\/www.inbodega.com\/products\/domaine-leflaive-puligny-montrachet-premier-cru-clavoillon-2015-burgundy-france","provider":"InBodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
