Had this pegged for ‘14 so would like to explore the lieu-dit and producer a little more, not very familiar. Well made, good oak integration, mineral throughout. Nice redux component, flinty and smokey backing up clear orchard fruits.

Needs time but absolutely fantastic structure, tension, and length. Even when tasted warm this #pulignymontrachet was delicious. #jeanmarcpillot

Textbook Puligny, balancing energy and weight. Flowers, lemon and just a touch of oak. Lightweight and lovely.

Very nice! Excellent fruit and just a touch of sweetness make this wine stand out. Solid QPR. Probably gets much better with age.

Half bottle. Very nice, but could use a few more years of age. The texture and nuttiness are starting to show through, but still restrained. Medium minus finish.

Lots of oak, body and length. A really nice Montrachet, I loved this.
