92 points Wine & Spirits: "Domaine Le­flaive’s wines stand out in this vintage, maintaining their laser-like focus while carrying the richness of 2009. This is a distinctive Puligny, performing far above its village status. It fills the glass with scents of vanilla, pear and spice, delivers them with a complete sense of comfort and ease, then lasts with a fragrant, vibrant memory of flavor, refreshing and mouthwatering to drink right now. Sure, it will age and gain in complexity, but it may not sustain this Apollonian moment of beauty. (Apr 2012)"

88-92 points Fine Wine Review: "The Puligny is slightly more pointed in its lime blossom aromas than the Bourgogne. The mouth shows a little reduction and there is much more substance here than in the Bourgogne, with some butter, minerality, and richness that approaches glossiness in texture. (Issue #133; 2011)"

91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2009 Puligny AC from Domaine Leflaive is a really lovely wine that is impressively reserved out of the blocks. The very classy bouquet offers up scents of apples, peaches, oranges, chalky soil tones and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and nicely closed on the attack, with a rock solid core of fruit, brisk acids, impeccable balance and fine cut and grip on the long and focused finish. 2013-2035. (Nov/Dec 2010)"
