Seems a little fatter and less crisp than last time out – countered by being served a little too cool. Beautiful Puligny aromas and plenty of flavour – good length too. Very tasty, and devoured in about 20-25 minutes by the thirsty four!
No oak – all elevage in stainless steel – bottled in July 2008. A soaring, high-toned nose that’s faintly estery but high-toned and engaging. In the mouth there’s much more impact than expected; good density and concentration and a lovely citrus acidity that aids the length. Slowly it develops a creamy flavour. Taught and tasty – I thought this lovely.
Just a little deeper yellow. Wide, fruit driven nose – still some brioche but of a lower order than the Carillon, a little toffee too. Similar pear-fruit but just a little fatter texture. Good texture and a more creamy fruit driven experience in the mid-palate. The finish is very good, but it would be easy to miss the reprise it brings to another level. Less structured and today more ‘comely’.
Bottled in February. Medium-pale yellow. A little more depth and a creamy note on the nose. Again a good
acid profile and a lovely burst of interest in the mid-palate. The lenght is savoury then without warning
there is a creamy burst of flavour that is reminiscent of a fine 1er cru. This is a very fine villages that
performs well above the label – it also gives no hint to it’s 14%.
Bottled in March, this is almost an equal mix of wine from the north and south of the appellation. Medium
colour. Mineral-edged cherry fruit and some floral, violet notes. Well-balanced acidity and tannin melds
with good fruit. There is a little tannin clinging to the side of your mouth, but it’s supple and ripe.
Just a suggestion of coffee on the finish. This is a good villages.
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.
Faint spiced bread overlays a denser undercurrent of fresh plummy fruit that slowly transforms onto cherry
and even redcurrant notes. Good ripenes and slightly grainy tannin. There is a strong and wide impression
in the mouth that pushes unchanged into the finish. This would also benefit from a year in the cellar, but
is already quite drinkable and very tasty.
