From the highest altitude premier cru in Puligny, this has a classic nose of lemon oil, preserved citrus, white flowers and chalky soil tones. The palate is textured, refined and elegant with nice concentration and focus. Drink 2016 - 2030.
Fragrant floral orange blossom white flowers there is a lot happening on the nose. The palate is
fresh with flint and mineral but it does fills out in the middle with sweet tropical fruits. Slate and
gunflint lighter at the back the finish has fresh fruit quite lean with good length. 2018-24
This Premier Cru vineyard is located at the top of the village of Puligny, near the village of Blagny and is the highest 1er cru of the appellation. Free run juices were all vinified in barrel with 25% new oak. The fermentation ended late November. The elevage in barrels lasted for a further 7 months with regular batonnages each week. This classic White Burgundy has a golden colour and a smoky, toasty nose. Fat on the palate but with zesty acidity. Broad and dense with the oak not yet fully integrated. Serious and needs a bit of time to knit together.
