Puligny Montrachet, Les Pucelles, 1er Cru, 2023
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
The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru, which Brice de la Morandière quipped was a "Grand Cru" (well, he does have grounds), has a succinct bouquet with lime, citrus peel and light flinty aromas that gradually unfurl in the glass. The palate is well balanced, cut from a similar cloth to the Les Combettes but with a slightly creamier texture. Perhaps it does not quite have the same "electricity" as the latter. This is long in the mouth, but juxtaposing the two cuvées I might err towards the Les Combettes.
