  dark yellow so was concerned it was oxed but the nose immediately told us elsewise - a pretty nose of lemon, wet stones/minerality. the mouthful was plenty of tart lemon fruit; medium bodied; def pronounced minerality. very enjoyable bottle

  this is really excellent. pretty pale gold/yellow color; strong perfume of white flowers, lemon, wet stones; amazing vibrancy in the mouthful - lemon zest, tons of racy acidity, lots of minerality - a great core of fruit at its core; really pretty finish. a terrific white burg; i'm guessing this can age another 2-3 years before hitting any decline.

  Lemon yellow color; flowers, fresh pears, Chablis-like minerality, and reduction (which dissipates over time) on the nose. The flavor profile follows suit. Burghound says to drink from 2028+. I think he must mean: If you drink this early, it needs a very long decant, which yields a beautiful Puligny 'Pucelles'.
