  November 29, 2020 - This went from Villages Chablis three years ago to Premier Cru Puligny today. Definitely worth the wait. The focus, the precision, the density and delineation. Wow. I was impressed. There's some development, some honeycomb, a little bit of hazelnut but the acid makes it even more vibrant than I remember. It's also gained some weight but it's all muscle. I'd love to blind a few people with this bottle. I think they'll be very surprised. Drink now or in the short term. I doubt it can get any better.

  May 10, 2017 - I agree with the prior reviews. This is a cool climate - old world styled wine, with medium-high acid, some minerality, very dry but with some volume. Reminds me of a village Chablis. I think it has a lot of potential to age. I will keep my last bottle for another 3 years at least to see where this goes.

  September 29, 2016 - Exponentially better than the last bottle most likely due to giving it a bit more time in bottle. Reminiscent of a bracing Chablis 1er with zesty natural acidity with richer lemon flavors rounding out the finish. Very nice!
