Puligny Montrachet, Les Pucelles, 1er Cru, 2011

Available Vintages
justerini & brooks tasting note

Reserved and elegant initially showing faint touches of white flower. Juicy, refined and lacy; classic Puligny. Lots of finesse. This is not a loud wine but has deceptive intensity; tense yet silky. Long and poised, wonderful. This emanates from three parcels in the heart of the Pucelles vineyard situated next to Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet.

critic reviews

92+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Slightly high-toned aromas of orange blossom, lemon and white flowers. Juicy, intense and youthfully taut, showing a lovely balance of sweetness and acidity to its flavors of citrus fruit, jasmine and honeysuckle. This very firm, penetrating wine is more about high notes than earth. Finishes pure and long, with a firm mineral edge that will require substantial cellaring. Wonderfully gripping for the vintage, and clearly picked on the early side.
