High-toned with plenty of action – it’s quite pretty. There’s a mineral aspect to the flavours, decent acidity and length. Not worth the tariff, but a good wine.

These are young vines – 2002 – this is when the pinot was ripped from the vineyard to be replaced by chardonnay. There’s a little more brioche to the nose, also a little more depth. Whilst there is more complexity than the village Puligny, I’d prefer a lick more of acidity. Perhaps longer finishing but I prefer the flavour of the Puligny finish. For something that’s only a little better than many villages cuvées the price is a bit of a joke at 108 francs – the stunning Pierre Morey Perrières only cost 110…

The nose here is gorgeous – a little understated maybe – high-toned fruit wrapped in a soft coating, but lovely. In the mouth finally we have a wine with the correct balance of concentration and acidity – it’s really excellent. Head and shoulders above the previous wines though still a laughable 169 swiss francs.
