"A blend from 25 different plots. Clear pale yellow. Fine fruit on the nose if less floral, builds beautifully on the palate, supported by a fine thread of mineral acidity. Lovely aftertaste.

"The nose is more compact again – but the purity is here with beautifully delivered flashes of citrus. Medium – mouth-filling, this a little more serious than the Meursaults today, structural though not hard. Great, complex finishing again – this needs patience, not for the oak, simply for the wine but it will be a really excellent villages. "

"Tight and tense, with a salty note. I would also recommend the lieu-dit, Les Meix, which is made separately, some of which goes into this blend, making a richer, broader, and more powerful Puligny village wine."
