justerini & brooks tasting note

One of the higher, stonier vineyards of Puligny, producing some of the commune’s most taut and mineral wines. Initially tense and strict, aeration soon reveals a wine of huge intensity; powerful, salted lime-skin fruit, floral touches of verbena and white flower with a hazelnut and acacia honey richness. Excellent.

critic reviews

94+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Very pale, bright yellow. Ethereal aromas of lemon, lime and white flowers, with hints of ripe peach and high-toned spices emerging with air; wears its 25% new oak gracefully. Supple on entry, then intense and racy in the middle, with an almost painful citric character suggesting that this wine is nowhere near ready to drink. Boasts a wonderfully fine-grained texture and finishes with a real whiplash of fruits and flowers. A beauty.
