Nice orchard fruits on the nose with a touch of toasty cinnamon and vanilla from the oak. This is well-balanced and everything is well-integrated on the nose. The palate is round and lush with good balance, length and complexity. This is a nice example of a fairly generic Puligny-Montrachet. Not mind-blowing and fairly modern in syle, but a nice value from Burgundy.

Tasted double blind at an offline. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Very light nose of sea mist and wet stones. Light and nimble flavors of peach, apricot and a hint of lime. Medium to bright acidity, light body. Drink now.
I was initially leaning towards a 2005 Loire white like a Savennières but my official guess was a 2005 Chablis; pretty much in the neighborhood.
