justerini & brooks tasting note

More closed and nervy than the Bienvenue. Very intense lemon, nut and stone characteristics. Less caressing than Bienvenue, but rapier-like, and incisive. Driven, serious and brooding. From four plots, two on the Chassagne side of the vineyard and two on the Puligny side.

critic reviews

92-95/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Pale yellow. Less expressive on the nose than the Bienvenue, conveying a honeyed ripeness and a hint of resiny oak. Then tightly clenched in the mouth, with a penetrating orange juice flavor dominating. Not at all a fat wine, this is hard to taste today and needs time to expand. Its power suggests that it will evolve slowly.
