2020 Philippe Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Rue Rousseau

Chardonnay more

VERY 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

Decanted 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.

PnP and enjoyed over 6 hours. Absolutely mesmerizing wine. The nose was electric and kept changing over the afternoon. 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).

Berry typical rue Rousseau, punches way above its weight with delicious oak, yellow fruits and crème anglais. Good balancing acidity up front but a really slurry wine overall.

A little simple... acid and oak. When compare to decent burgundy it didn’t stack up.

Too young, bright with a sour note, overlayed with elegant oak. Good but not at the level of the Niellon Chassagne 1er

A fatter folatieres vintage that benefited from a couple of hours in the decanter. Was a bit shy initially but opened out beautifully over time.

A 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.

Really lovely crystalline berry fruit, elegant, long and really delicious. Very much a crowd pleaser, this bottle didn’t last long

Really delicious. Some savory mint, lemon and custard on the nose. Very fine and long on the e palate. Although the fella ours are a little understated. A wine to contemplate.

Very 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

Obviously way too young, but it's so bloody delicious it's hard not to open another bottle right away.

Incredible rich blend of red and black fruits with some funky CNDP notes thrown in. Dense yet lithe, incredibly long. This is hard not to love!

Decanted 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

Some fine french oak up front but after some time this mellowed out a little. Mouthfilling, great length and a fine balance between fruit and mineral elements. Really delicious although clearly far too young.

Interesting, but not delicious.

Very complex nose, but the palate is too acidic and demands food to be drinkable. Possibly would work well with shellfish. I'm curious to see how this would develop over 10-20 years. A curiosity but probably not worth seeking out.

I was possibly expecting too much from this wine, as I was a little underwhelmed. Jammy fruit on the nose but blacker earthy profile on the palate. Better without food than with. Nice, but I wouldn't go out of my way to seek this out

Massive fruit and sugar, with just enough balancing acidity. Almost Eiswein style. Very interesting and complex, but a glass is enough.
