Aromatically deeper if narrower than the 09. Lovely freshness – far from a typical 07. Good structure and insinuating flavours. There is lots to like here, particularly as the fruit takes a slightly creamy reflection after a time.

A blend of two sites, one of 25 year-old vines planted near the road, the other of 60 year-old vines. The

nose starts rather mineral with hints of cedar and dark fruit – you really need to spend a little time with

the glass for it to open up with fruit, floral and even chocolate hints. This is very sophisticated in the

mouth, showing very fine tannins and a perfect freshness. A good burst of fruit that’s rather classy and

concentrated on the mid-palate. The finish lingers, then a little like the villages Puligny provides a

creamy reprise. It needs a couple of years in the cellar, but it will better an ‘average’ 1er cru.
