Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2020 pours a bright straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful, lifted notes of ripe tropical fruit; pineapple, star fruit, passion fruit, lemon, freshly struck match, white flowers, gentle warm spices and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is an excellent village wine and love the style. Drink now through 2035.

Absolute over achiever. Pure beauty & elegance. Dead center of my wheelhouse.

Zesty, oaky with punchy lemon. Dazzling and fun if a little contacted.

Beautiful, round & waxy.

Somewhat sour Meyer lemons w/ a slightly syrupy quality, green apple, honeycomb, citrus blend framed in lime pulp & zest, slightly dry stone fruits w/ apricots in the lead, marmalade bits, tropical melons, pineapple lightly baked in brown sugar, caramel, white spice, notes of dry herbs, dry limestone powder w/ bits, mixed in volcanic minerals, saline, sea fossils, dry stone, hints of flint, yellow lilies & flowers, beautiful, round acidity, well crafted-balanced-tensioned, layered elegant finish that lasts minutes landing on spice w/ a little heat on its long set.

Hard not to go 94 here but with some time in cellar.

All the 22’s I’ve had to this point, stunning!

This is another amazing wine on entry. Elegant and all you expect and more at the level. Granny Smith apple, lime flesh w/ pith & zest, pineapple juice, white peach, tropical green melon, paraffin, waxy, excellent chalky powder, white spice, limestone powder, field of spring white flowers framed in jasmine, perfect acidity and a beautiful, well made & balanced finish that lasts nearly two-minutes and lands on chalk & spice.
