Lacked the concentration and excitement I was hoping for from #benjaminleroux a nice #pulignymontrachet that is quite restrained, maybe a little too restrained?

I'm really amazed by the acid, lift, and texture in his whites for '11. Pleasantly atypical for the vintage in my experience.

Nice tart apple, good grip, solid finish with a lot of dry extract. Try again in 2 yrs.

Beautiful yellow. Fresh aroma with acidity. Smooth with nuts and oak flavor, then freshness with enough acidity and grape fruits flavor. Complexity. @3100, 400/g, Domaine, 171112
