Puligny-Montrachet, 2019
Generous, slick Puligny showing juicy, full, yellow fruit and butter notes, as well as tenser citrus touches and a contrasting rock salt character giving the wine a nice savoury kick. From a fine plot on a slope called les Meix, near the Grands Crus, next to Enseigneurs. Fermentation and élévage take place in 350 litre barrels, with no bâtonnage, for 12 months before six months in stainless steel.
critic reviews
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village opens in the glass with notes of white peach, citrus oil, spring blossom, pastry cream and struck match. Medium to full-bodied and fleshy but tightly wound, it's lively and mineral, concluding with a chalky finish.
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village offers gunflint and green apples on the strict, tightly wound nose, a touch of petrichor with time. The palate is very saline on the entry, harmonious and focused. Touches of blackcurrant leaf lend another layer of complexity on the mineral-rich finish. Great persistence here, very saline and just superb for a Village Cru.
