  Exceptional, drinking beautifully, layers upon lingering layers of varied citrus, honey, minerality and light vanilla,

  Bu à la fin d’une longue dégustation, pas d'oxydation pre-maturée, belle bouteille.

  Right upon opening this felt a bit ripe and cloying but with a bit of air the minerality, salinity and acidity came forward, took over and rendered this in a wonderful Puligny. Probably not the complexity to reach the 95+ category but a pleasure to drink. 94+ pts
  
  TN: Intense, spectacular nose, full of white flowers, citrus, honey on the nose. High precision and very inviting. On the attack superb weight, honey, white flowers, citrus, liquid rocks, all very well delineated. Superb presence mid palate and on the finish with a strong salty streak lending the wine additional freshness with the round, medium+ acidity that kicks in and renders the wine light and almost weightless.
  
  Decanting: This needs an hour in the decanter.
