Tasting notes
Hey, you're in for a treat with Domaine Leflaive's Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles from 2000. This winery is a master with Chardonnay, and this bottle is no exception. It's one of those wines that really stands out, perfect for a special dinner.
In the 15th volume of 'The Drops of God,' this wine was chosen by Shizuku and Itsuki for a dinner to uncover a wine thief. The wine's aroma of tiny white flowers, nuts, and citrus, especially grapefruit, is so captivating. It’s like being in a spring garden and you can almost smell it just thinking about it.
Pour it into the glass and you'll notice that lovely golden hue. The aroma is elegant, filled with delicate notes of white flowers, and the citrus hints like grapefruit and lemon peel are vibrant and refreshing. When you taste it, that full-bodied richness and gentle acidity really embrace your palate. There's a creamy texture that adds a surprising roundness to it.
The finish is long, letting those fruity flavors linger beautifully. It's got such complexity that you could savor it for hours. I'd say serve it slightly chilled, around 8-10℃, and in a slightly larger glass to let all those aromas really open up.
