  • The wine has a very nice golden yellow color. Nice tropical fruit aroma, very nice acidity and good minerality. I noticed an overwhelming taste of butterscotch on the palate. Very round, unctuous mouthfeel, still very vibrant fruit. A very pleasant, if not overly refined PM. Good minerality with citrus overtones. Drinking very nicely right now though I don't see any reason to hold off on drinking this baby as it's not going to get much better than it is currently

  • Nose is muted. Good balanced palate. Full bodied but tastes light. Nice acidity, some citrus, refreshing. I loved it.

  • From 2 375s--Yow. Terrific wine and a wonderful example of Puligny-Montrachet. Mineral driven with a citrus overlay. This is a very strong, rigid wine that just dissolves on the way down. A very versatile wine that could accompany most meals.

  • Pale straw yellow, brilliant. High toned, cornuchophia of fruits, nectarine, peach, apricot. Some toast, very mouthfilling, mineral, lemon zest, slight amount of talc, lively acidity. Long, fresh, stony finish. This is a really fine village wine. No reason to wait.

  • Before dinner. Bright, fresh, delicious, nutty, minimal oak. Not very complex, a bit flowery and right in its prime. Very easy to drink alone.

  • I really enjoyed this wine. It paired fabulously with a mixed seafood ceviche and roasted bronzini. Pale straw color. Light floral nose. Crisp taste, with lots of minerals, citrus, and apple. Thankfully, no wood or butter to speak of. Very well balanced. The light alcohol content really let the minerals and citrus shine. Although we didn't decant it, this wine improved dramatically in the glass and extended its finish. Perfect for an summer dinner outdoors.
