Are the parts are there, checked in on the 17 to see how it’s developing. Needs time in the bottle to show its true character...sorry for the bad pic

In this ripe vintage, Chartron crafted an elegant wine replete with lemon, mineral and smoke. Bracing acidity, vibrant apple, pear and citrus fruit and a wonderful undercurrent of Stony minerality. Seductively long finish

Elegant with crisp lemony acidity, bright golden apple, smokey minerality and a lovely roundness. Medium body, very good length. A fine well-balanced Pliny.

Domaine Jean Chartron established in 1859 owns 13 hectares of vineyards - 16 appellations - 9 of which being in Puligny-Montrachet. The soil is a mixture of clay siliceous sand and lime components. 40 years the average age of the vines. Hand harvesting, neither herbicides, nor chemical pesticides are used in the vineyards. Behind the alchemical balance of the wine aging (élevage) in the woods, at the source of the new oak barrels there's always Allier and Vosges.
Even though 2011 in Burgundy's one of the most premature vintage in 300 years, I must admit that this bottle of the monopole Clos de la Pucelle was astonishingly crisp, persisten texture, a solid core of broom in bloom blowing up in your mouth, a shiny flow of mineral essence. Sourness and honey they were so well blended to spread the unity of opposites all over the go-between glass among you the others around and the wine.. though one bottle was a too much little thing! http://www.bourgogne-chartron.com/

New oak and really great, intense, substantial Chardonnay have a really great relationship. When they meld, it's fabulous. Take this, for example...
