  May 27, 2009 - Wine Guild of Charlottesville Epic Burgundy Tasting (Charlottesville, VA): This wine and the next were found to be the two favorite whites of the evening and for some, of the night. The Puligny has a classic, rich and expressive nose. A million times over I would have guessed this one in a blind tasting as Puligny, it is everything you want out of the wine. Full bodied with a creamy chalk minerality, buttery acidity and a fatty, light smoke note with rich yeasty toast qualities. Just a fantastic wine showing a power now that many thought needed to harmonize with a few more years but of which all agreed was the excellent stuff of this region. A great buy for the cellar, maybe 3-7 years, but a powerful drink now Burgundy for those who like the intensity of flavor.
