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%.
The nose is both wide and deep; neither fat nor high-toned it delivers subtle blossom and cream. Very well textured in the mouth, giving the impression that real muscle could be under the jacket, but the jacket stayed on in our short time together. There is good minerality and super acidity that pushes long into the good finish. Perhaps it’s just a little tight as there was little I could put my finger on – I summarised by writing ‘very efficient and understated Puilgny’.
Drunk directly following the 04 Bouzereau Puligny 1er Champs Gains. Paler lemon yellow colour. Wide, slightly creamy, high-toned nose of citrus-infused fruit. Similar depth if not the ultimate density to the 1er cru wine, but beautifully balanced with an extra dimension of ever widening fruit on the mid-palate. Similar length, but a more interesting and mouthwatering length. Not the cheapest village bottling, but real value, and still drinking very well.
Pale yellow. The nose launches forward with ripe, citrus edged fruit before settling into a more brioche dominated lime fruit. The palate retains the citrus edge to its sweet fruit, though the key attribute is the mouthwatering acidity. This wine exemplifies perfectly the vintage – lovely aromatics and fresh presentation – yet it also shows the achilles heel, just not quite enough density at the villages level for enjoying on its own – perfect with food though! One glass was left overnight in the open bottle in the refridgerator, it was as fresh as the night before.
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.
