Closure: Cork

Often seen as the premier village for White Burgundy, not least due to the fact it contains four Grand Cru vineyards along with some of the very best Premier Cru sites. Wines from Puligny often have very precise, floral notes and are generally finer than those of Chassagne and Meursault.

Other Reviews....
A successful mix of luscious fruit, toasted spice and a firm backbone highlight this well-balanced, vibrant white. Long and refreshing on the finish, where the floral and mineral elements chime in. Best from 2017 through 2024.

Wine Spectator – Bruce Sanderson

Once again the nose is quite firmly reduced though it should reasonably pass after the sulfur is fully absorbed. There is excellent volume and punch to the seductive and refined medium weight flavors that culminate in a finish that is not as racy or delineated as that of the Les Pierres but the natural class of Puligny is evident.
