| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.5 pts. and median of 95 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 11/24/2023 & rated 95 points: Great nose with bright flavors of lemon, rocks, flint, and citrus with a nice richness. Sharp acidity on the palate with lots of minerals, lemon, grapefruit, and green apple notes. Long finish. This was a gorgeous wine that is very well balanced and although the oak is noticeable, it's perfectly integrated. Still young, this will only improve with age. Impressive! (416 views) | | | Tasted by kr522 on 12/29/2022 & rated 95 points: This is a ripper. Lots of reduction on the nose, yet still beautifully floral. the fruit is dense and still tight, with a crisp citrus and crunchy mineral personality. I think this has another gear (522 views) | | | Tasted by kr522 on 9/21/2020 & rated 94 points: Not quite as explosive as last time, maybe because it was opened very cold. As it warmed it came alive. Beautifully reductive nose with flowers and citrus, and a very fine lemon oil and mineral streak. Still quite Impressive (1508 views) | | | Tasted by kr522 on 11/28/2019 & rated 95 points: Drank well above my expectations. The nose is fantastic and it’s followed by a precise and energetic palate... flowers, minerals and citrus. Good depth and harmony. Might be better than the Domaine version (1365 views) | | | Tasted by Plabella on 11/10/2019 & rated 96 points: delicious full body wine with lemon and peach (1383 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 11/2/2019 & rated 95 points: Puligny-Montrachet les Pucelles - blind tasting 1998-2011: Wonderful nose, right off the bat this wine had it all. Toast, vanilla, lemon curd, pop corn. Searling acidity, good mid mouth presence. Wonderful (2034 views) | | | Tasted by Plabella on 10/10/2019 & rated 96 points: beautiful crafted burgundy wine (1182 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
