Puligny-Montrachet, 2021
Light smoke and flint notes are beautifully integrated with clear citrus fruit. Hitting the palate this is saline and fresh, with more mineral dimension than the Bourgogne. A little less mid-palate flesh, more drive and nerve. A very precise Puligny but one with plenty of charm too. An extremely high-quality villages. A blend of seven parcels vinified separately then aged in 10% new oak, more than a third comes from Les Meix, one of the top lieu-dits in Puligny.
critic reviews
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village exhibits aromas of citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers and warm bread, followed by a medium-bodied, lively and fine-boned palate that's bright, mineral and understated.
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village has a taut and strict nose, well defined, green apple mixed with subtle petrichor/wet pavement scents. The palate is well balanced with lemon zest, lime and a dab of ginger, gently building towards a nicely composed and delineated finish. This should give 8-10 years' drinking pleasure.
