Pale gold. Lovely nose, very elegant. A hint of smoke, lot of citrussy pith, chalk, ginger stem and lime. A small amount of reduction lingers. Straightforward and nicely-done Puligny from a domaine I had not encountered before. Let down slightly by a hint of green bitterness at the very finish but otherwise a very fine bottle, and if the price was right I'd jump in. Off the list at Noizé, London.

Green gold. Far more mineral and saline than I recall, with a refreshing citrus acidity and a lively and tingly palate. Interesting - I had been on the point of dismissing this, but actually this was far more to my tastes, far less 'generic', and actually rather fun.

Note much as last time, ie a very enjoyable bottle. Once again to note that this is not old-school meursault, it is a lot more zippy than that. Was not as good on day 2.
