Puligny-Montrachet, Les Pucelles, 1er Cru, 2010
This shows immense, great strength but it is a very fine and focused power; intense notes of citrus flower, lemon rind and limes; clear and with an acute definition. Strong flint and limestone characteristics with hints of flower on the long finish. Emanating from three parcels from the heart of the Pucelles vineyard situated next to Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet.
critic reviews
It has been several years since I last tasted the 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru. Now, at 13 years of age, it has an attractive nose, maybe not quite as "crystalline" as before, though it shows lovely white mushroom, lime and crushed stone scents. The palate is lively and poised. A killer tang of sour lemon verges on jarring towards the finish, yet somehow, it delivers fabulous tenderness and length. Excellent.
