Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon has a sense of `coolness` on the nose, a little aloof at first and then deigning to present you with light limestone and flinty notes. The palate is taut on the entry with a touch of sour lemon that lends this Clavoillon fine tension and persistence. One feels that it is holding something back. What that is, you`ll need a cool dark cellar to find out. 91-93 points

I can still recall back in the ‘80s and early ‘90s when the Clavoillon here was a bit chunky in personality and a bit of a weak link in the domaine’s lineup, but with the wholesale switch over to biodynamique viticulture, this wine has developed a sense of elegance that I never imagined possible. The 2013 is another absolutely beautiful wine in the making, delivering an utterly refined nose of apple, lemon, chalky minerality, fruit blossoms, a bit of orange zest and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and racy in personality, wit h excellent mid-palate depth, beautiful focus and balance, bright acids and outstanding transparency on the long and nascently complex finish. A beautiful wine in the making. 2018-2045+. 92+ points
