2020 Y. Clerget Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrieres Premier Cru

Currently there is a significant generational shift happening in Burgundy, and these new names are seemingly better trained and better equipped to succeed than ever before. One of the most exciting of these new talents is Thibaud Clerget now heading up his family's Domaine Clerget. Based in Volnay, Thibaud represents the 28th generation of his family's winemaking history in Burgundy, and in a few brief vintages has created significant buzz. In true Burgundy tradition, Thibaud is equally as happy on the tractor in the vineyard as he is in the cellar, confident in taking on all aspects of the process. Since 2019 vintage the family holdings in Volnay and Meursault have been bolstered with further contract arrangements adding prime parcels such as Meursault Perrieres and Corton Grand Cru.

Other Reviews....
Here too soft if perceptible wood sets off prominent floral elements, especially acacia and lilac, on the apple and mineral reduction-suffused nose. There is slightly better volume to the caressing but punchy medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a very dry and sneaky long finish. This would benefit from having better depth though more is almost sure to develop if the wine is held for a few years first. Drink from 2026+.
