an under the radar White Burgundy producer who’s 60+ year old vines from this village level lieu-dit are located near the Chassagne side across from Grand Cru Batard Montrachet…OVERperformer!

Lamy’s ‘14 a Criot Batard Montrachet is up there as wines of my life so I was very excited to share this bottle with Cerasulo. Started strong with his magic work he does in Saint Aubin. I was anticipating a emotional ride, but the wine evened out and the richness took over the reductive steeliness. Felt out of balance. Delicious, yes! But a walk in heaven. Not so much. — a year ago
Mid Gold in colour. Aromatics of yellow flowers and developed honeycomb notes. The medium bodied palate shows lovely yellow peach - great drinking at 14 years, but, splitting hairs here, would’ve had more energy a couple of years ago. Developing that aged lactic note and slightly syrupy on the palate. Mineral and saline notes at the end. The following night it was quite a rich concentrated, almost buttery Chardonnay. Back Story: “Les Pucelles” literally The Maidens is among the finest of Puligny’s premier cru vineyards. It is adjacent to Batard Montrachet and makes a wine of nearly equal concentration. One of the “1001 Wines”. — 9 months ago
Classic GSM blend! Not any berry notes left but instead you get the terroir. Some taste of prune too. It has aged nicely and softened on the palate. — a year ago

Young but superb—needs more time to stretch out a bit. Adjacent to Batard and from old vines. A PYCM favorite. — 3 days ago
