Other Reviews....
A cooler and markedly more restrained nose is composed by notes of mineral reduction, pretty floral wisps and a variety of citrus-tinged white orchard fruit. There is fine volume to the racy, intense and well-delineated medium weight flavors exude more obvious minerality on the super-saline and attractively refreshing linear finish where the citrus character flashed by the nose reemerges.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières has turned out nicely in bottle, unfurling in the glass with scents of white flowers, citrus zest, crisp Anjou pear, white peach and beeswax. Medium-bodied, lively and mineral, it's fine-boned and elegant, with tangy acids and a saline finish.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2021)

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru comes from a single plot that touches Les Referts, the vines around 45 years old. This has a little more richness on the nose with candle wax/resin aromas joining the malic fruit, perhaps even a little "Chassagne" in style. The palate is well balanced with, again, a little more depth and weight than the other Premier Crus from Sauzet, though it does not quite display the same nervosité on the finish. I commend the spiciness on the aftertaste, but I hope this will develop more tension by the time of bottling.

Neal Martin - Vinous

A little pale lemon colour, the nose is weighty but not quite so fresh as Referts. Intense on the palate, it’s the wood which has not quite integrated so well: apparently this is usual at this stage. There is good acidity here with a low pH but the whole has not yet found its harmony.
