Tasting Notes

The 2015 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a crisp, mineral-driven bouquet with subtle almond and popcorn scents in the background. It is tightly wound but there is energy here. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, poised and focused, and though not the most intense Puligny this vintage, there is a sensation of length and amplitude. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (DIAM closure)

Score: 95

Pale, bright yellow. Reticent, classic aromas of peach flesh and pit with smoky minerals. Deeper and more powerful in the middle palate than the Folatières but tightened in the early going by strong lemony acidity and thus less silky and refined today. The firm-edged finish reveals a repeating lemony element and a touch of phenolics. This will need time. New winemaker Pierre Vincent told me that this wine has 4.8 grams per liter acidity and a very low pH of 3.05.

Score: 92
