Joseph Drouhin, Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2019
Description
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.

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.
