Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clavoillon” 2016 (Tax, Shipping Included)

Leflaive's Puligny monopole in a low-yield concentrated vintage — the reference register for white Burgundy. (Tax and shipping included in this price.)

Taste
Citrus oil, white peach, hazelnut, and crushed stone, framed by Puligny's signature mineral cut. Tense, precise, and still youthful.

Region
From Puligny-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. Clavoillon is a 1er cru monopole — Domaine Leflaive farms it exclusively. The domaine is biodynamic, family-run, and considered the white Burgundy reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the same wine as the non-tax-included Clavoillon 2016?
A: Yes — same producer, same vineyard, same vintage, same SKU. The only difference is pricing: this PDP bundles tax and shipping into the listed price; the parent handle prices them separately at checkout.

Q: What does 'monopole' mean?
A: A monopole is a single-producer vineyard — only one domaine farms it. For Clavoillon, that's Domaine Leflaive. The monopole format lets a single philosophy express a specific terroir.

Q: What food pairs best?
A: Crustaceans (lobster, scallops, langoustine), butter-based fish preparations, poached chicken, and rich shellfish dishes — Puligny's mineral cut works especially well with sweetness from shellfish.
