Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles offers up aromas of pear, citrus zest, fresh bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's bright and charming, with a lively, precise profile. This has turned out nicely.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru, which was taken from barrel, sees around 20–25% new oak. It is well defined on the nose, featuring apple blossom, chalk dust and light oyster shell aromas. The palate is well balanced with a tang of marmalade on the entry. This conveys fine energy. Subtle tangy curry leaf notes toward the finish liven things up.
Reviewed by: James Suckling
The flinty and floral nose pulls you gently into this very elegant and sophisticated wine, which shows why Puligny-Montrachet has a special reputation. Long, silky and mineral finish. Drink or hold.
