  PNP. Très peu de réduction à l’ouverture. Il ne devient que meilleur après 30 minutes d’ouverture. L’élevage en fût est en arrière-plan, laissant place à des beaux arômes de fruits blancs du verger, sans surmaturité ni lourdeur, complexe et équilibré, avec une finale qui se resserre quasi chablisienne. Très bon.

  Nez de fruits blancs et jaunes surtout. Au départ , l’acidité est en retrait, le vin a besoin d’air car le palais et les arômes se développent magnifiquement pour révéler un vin élégant, fin, très pur, avec finalement une acidité bien dosée, un vin d’une longueur surprenante, quelle classe! 92-93
  
  White and yellow orchard fruit mainly on the fairly discrete nose at the start. On the palate, the acidity seems backwards at first and even a little flat almost, the wine needs air and time in the glass and the result is astonishing as it develops to a fine, classy, elegant, fresh and very pure wine with just enough tension to bring everything together, surprising length and finish as well, excellent. 92-93

  This Domaine has reduced oak usage to great effect. A lighter wine, with some reduction in the nose that never quite blew off, but wasn’t obtrusive. White fruit on the nose and a delicate palate with good (not great) acidity on the finish. A friend thought after 1.5 hours in a decanter the oak was peeking out, though I didn’t notice it. Not sure this will ever be great, but very good now and likely better on the next 5-7 years.

  Pale gold. Intense fresh lemon, chalky minerality, some apricot, sweet vanilla and charred wood. Mid weight, supreme balance and focus with an almost salty minerality core leading to a refreshing and expanding finish with flavors of nuts, ripe fruits and underlying oak. Excellent quality and potential here.

  Visite au Domaine Paul Pillot: Sols caillouteux sur l’esprit de Puligny, selon Thierry.
  Un vin plus puissant, droit et très concentré, presque tranchant. Austère à ce stade mais doté d'un super potentiel. 92-93 pts
