Puligny Montrachet

Good classic nose, fresh, pure and clean. Palate has real energy and a pure tight focus. Breadth builds - there is white crunching apple flesh - warm citrus tart - and lovely long, sleek finish. Balanced, round and yet v...(read more)

First plot below Enseignères. More clay, so arguably not your typical Puligny, says Adrien.
