Tasting Notes

Tasting note: Here the superbly elegant nose is compositionally similar to the straight Puligny but with notably better complexity thanks to the fine range of spice elements. The excellent depth continues onto the driving and wonderfully intense middle weight flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract where the latter imparts a sappy texture to the strikingly saline-inflected and impressively persistent finish. This is first-rate though note well that it's clearly built-to-age. Sweet spot Outstanding

Score: 94

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2028+ 15 June 2018

(44 hectoliters per hectare produced): Pale, bright yellow. Quite suave on the nose, combining stone fruits, rocky minerals and a musky smoky element. Suave and bright, with lively acidity (4.4 grams per liter) framing and lifting its citrus and peach fruit flavors; there's a mineral element here that's quite different from that of the Meursault Perrières. The very long, unflagging, mineral-driven aftertaste excites the taste buds without leaving any impression of weight. Most of these wines are no higher than 13.2% alcohol, noted Boillot.

Score: 92 - 94
