2017 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Les Garennes

Other Reviews....
(from 85-year-old vines that yielded 38 hectoliters per hectare in 2017; Colin has two 350-liter barrels, one of them new): Bright green-yellow. Ripe nectarine and lemon drop aromas are lifted by pungent brown spices, with herb and mint nuances emerging with air. At once densely packed and weightless, conveying a strong citrussy character but quite youthfully imploded today and every bit as tight as the Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets. As with his Baudines, Colin likes to wait to get enough ripeness here. He told me he worked this vineyard at his father Marc Colin's estate in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and each time he harvested too early. (13.1% alcohol)
