Product Description
RP94 The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles has also turned out very well, unwinding in the glass with aromas of fresh bread, pear, citrus oil, anise, yellow apple and toasted nuts. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated, it's deep and seamless, with an elegant, charming profile. Could this evolve like a modern-day version of the domaine's stunningly good 1982?
br> VM94 The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru is more malic on the nose, touches of green apple, Williams pear and crushed stone. I would have liked just a little more vigour. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. A little salinity emerges towards the second half that has impressive substance. Long tail on the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.
