Domaine Leflaive - Puligny Montrachet

1971

Lots of coulure and millerandage (poor fruit set). The summer was marked by heavy heat and a succession of storms (19 August), many of them hail-bearing (insurers very nearly shut up shop when it was time to settle). A small, very ripe harvest, with powerful aromas.

Chevalier-Montrachet

N°415 - Octobre 1997 [Plaisir de la cave][Vertical] Grands bourgognes blancs Bernard Burtschy Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 1971 Yellow colour. The nose, not very intense, is evolving towards liquorice and honey. The attack on the palate appears supple, with a rich, honeyed mid-palate and a somewhat hot finish. Length seems average and substance incontestable. The liquorice finish lacks a bit of drive, but it's a lovely wine all the same.
