2004 Potel Nicolas Puligny-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

A much more mineral nose, pure and precise. A step-up in concentration, nice acidity too. Lasts long on the palate. A very nice wine.

It’s tight, but this is still showing a lovely soft and complex nature on the nose. Lovely density and texture for a villages wine, a darker edge to the fruit here. Nicely velvet tannins that remain chewable in the finish. A lovely villages.

Bought-in as juice. Again very pale in colour. A much deeper nose than the bourgogne, precise and interesting. Good acidity with a wide and expansive palate, good length too. This is mineral and fresh – very athletic in pose – distance rather than power, taught and tight. Super villages.

Tight nose with an oaky edge. The wine has a very good texture and fat, the tannin combines well with the fruit. Quite long too, though I prefer the villages.

Wider nose than their St.Romain, initially more diffuse but stronger notes. Higher acidity than the St.Romain, very nice, mouth-filling complexity. Medium length. Good wine, I’ve tasted much worse 1er Crus from this appellation.

2004 Boisset Jean-Claude Puligny-Montrachet Champs Gains

By on February 28, 2006 #asides

4 barrels made. The nose has limited depth, but panoramic width. A sweet and concentrated, but not fat palate. Its ultra-clean flavours really burst through on the mid-palate, but is still somewhat linear in presentation. Today it’s a very primary wine, but I expect with a very bright future.

100% new oak for the elevage. High-toned nose which mixes pineapple and pear fruit. The palate has less width than the previous Puligny, but shows a nice intensity and medium length. A very tasty and clean wine.

2004 Potel Nicolas Nuits St.Georges Les Boudots

A wide, cedar inflected, slightly feral nose. High-toned fruit in the mouth, lots of concentration that’s well balanced with the acidity and tannin – you can really chew on this. Will need some bottle time to mellow – if mellow is what you want.

This is the first year that they have managed to source the grapes – before it was must. A little more intense yellow colour. An understated, slightly tight nose. The palate has good acidity and quite some depth – nicely concentrated – makes a good impression. It’s a nice wine, but blind, I wouldn’t have guessed it was from Puligny.
