The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a slightly cumbersome reduction on the nose, but displays good intensity. It coalesces with conviction after 10-15 minutes in the glass. The palate is very promising, with fine bone tannins, a more-or-less perfect line of acidity, ample salinity and plenty of horsepower on the lingering, grippy, lightly spiced finish. This is a complex and intellectually-satisfying Pucelles for long-term consideration. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Drink between 2025-2050)
Clear pale lemon yellow. Fresh citrus notes. This is really intense on the palate, offering more volume than the nose at first suggested, pure white fruit, a little liquorice, exceptionally long. This is classy and discreet, carried through by the exceptional length on the palate. It finishes with a certain mineral dryness.
A super-elegant Puligny-Montrachet with a very fine tannin and mineral structure. Still tightly wound, the peach and citrus aromas expanding as it aerates in the glass. Just a hint of fresh pineapple. Then comes the very long and precise finish that has delightful delicacy. Drink or hold.
