| Tasting note |
A discreet application of wood easily allows the aromas of acacia blossom, lavender, citrus and the essence of white-fleshed fruit to be appreciated. The caressing and quite refined flavors exude a subtle salinity on the refreshing, firm and sneaky long finale. This should make for a very fine villages with a few years of cellaring. By Allen Meadows @ Burghound.com, Jun 2018.
Monsieur Vincent noted that the yields here were quite correct in 2016 and the wine was showing quite nicely at the time of my visit, offering up a bright bouquet of apple, touches of tangerine and pink grapefruit, chalky soil tones, spring flowers, fresh almond and a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and zesty, with a fine core, very good cut and grip and a long, nascently complex and energetic finish. Good juice. (Drink between 2020-2040). By John Gilman, Nov 2017.
The 2016 Puligny Montrachet Village has a crisp and delineated bouquet with fine mineralité and slight touches of linseed. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, not the most complex or tensile village cru that I have tasted at this stage but there is appreciable salinité on the finish. Fine.
