2020 Philippe Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Rue RousseauChardonnay more |
7/30/2022 - WillersC wrote: 91 pointsVERY young at present and full of incredible energy. Tons of bright acidity balanced by tons of fruit. Needs time to open up in the bottle but a really fun drinking experience at the moment |

9/20/2023 - WillersC wrote: 95 pointsDecanted for an hour and then enjoyed over 4 whilst dining at the 3 star Waldhotel Sonnora. The classic flinty/smoky PYCM nose combined with Puligny white fruits was just magic (and brought a tear to my dining companions eye). Full of nostalgia and truly delicious. Opened up quite dramatically over the afternoon. Obviously still way to young, with tons more to come, but not a shame to enjoy now. |

The palate was tighter but opened up and the wine was weightless and combined so beautifully with the food on offer. A pleasure (one that I wish to replicate many times in the future). |

1/11/2019 - WillersC wrote: 92 pointsA wine that whispers gently and elegantly, and it has a very interesting message to share. White flowers, oatmeal and minerality on the delicate nose. Similar profile on the palate and with a lovely long finish. Perfectly balanced with nothing sticking out. A savoury, mineral wine that isn't sharp, it's round and mouth filling but delicate at the same time. Absolutely stunning. A wine to sit and contemplate and enjoy with simple savoury food. |

2015 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d'OrPinot Noir more |
7/30/2022 - WillersC wrote: 90 pointsVery very tight on opening, so we decanted for an hour and came back later. The wine opened up considerably as a result and was actually very good. Black fruits with minerals, long and clean on the palate. Fine wine, that needs 5+ years to mature before broaching again |

2014 Philippe Chavy Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les PucellesChardonnay more |
9/1/2019 - WillersC wrote: 93 pointsDecanted and just got better and better over time. Big puligny, with everything in balance. Great line, structure and fruit. Not subtle but very impressive and delicious. Probably another 2 years to peak but no chance yet |
