My rep cautioned me that this wine is "nervy". And even that is perhaps an understatement. Lots of complexity on the nose with ample tropical notes of papaya, tangerine zest, honeysuckle. The acidity is the real star...vibrant and bracing, it courses through layers of minerality, crushed pineapple and French oak to a mouthwatering finish.

Saturday study in Puligny Montrachet.... binary exposure... Where did the tropics come in? Pleasurable but odd.

This is textbook Perrieres, wasn't expecting quite as much, esp
For the vintage. Very intense, young. I think E de Montille made this wine. A real surprise

Second time to have this wine in last 6 months-both times wine was not showing well-flat, seemed past its prime -unlike other '04 #burgundy whites we have had lately #sommchat

2004 Vintage. Held too long, oxidized mess, or corked. Bring out your dead series. Also dead shown were 2004 Peay Roussanne/Marsanne, and 2005 Fevre Bougros Cote Bouguerots.
