The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet that shows more intensity than the 2013, with scents of freshly sliced lime and struck flint. A menthol hint emerges with time. The palate is well balanced with a slightly minty opening. This is imbued with a fine bead of acidity, crisp and malic with a saline tang on the finish. This is turning into a really quite excellent Les Perrières. Tasted at Charles Taylor Wines' Carillon lunch. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2023)

Atypically ripe (given vintage) but oh-so-delicious. Early-Mid term drinking. Classic Puligny gun flint, with the edge taken off.

Good Lord. I think this will go longer than the Champs Canet, but oh God, it's so good now

More reductive in style, but purer, crisper and more to my liking.
