Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay

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.

2014 - Vintage - amazing freshness - baked apple , hazelnut paste , spice , butterscotch , laser like acidity, - great representation of the variety and appellation

Sauzet

Classic Puligny, beautiful texture, minerality and racy acidity, yum!

Great balance to start with
Then once the wine warms up a bit the toasty side of the drink takes the lead
Nice finish though
It was in a very tough bracket

Evolving throughout the nose and palate with balanced complexity showing a pronounced ripe fruit profile with a creamy toffee and nutty complexity that is kept tightly in check by a defined minerality and high but ripe acidity.

Excellent match with the flavoursome pine mushrooms from Macedon Ranges.
Happiness 😎

Over achiever.
