Jasper Morris MW, January 2021, Score: 93-95
Still in barrel, unracked. Adèle’s favourite. Really racy fruit, with a fresh greengage note. Ripeness arrives quickly here but has clearly been managed well this year. The body is perfectly judged, a mix of ripe citrus and fresh pear here, beautifully judged, finesse and really long. Perfect! I don’t think I know a better Chalumeaux.
Region
Puligny Montrachet
Puligny Montrachet is known as the most delicate of the white wine appellations south of Beaune.Its wines tend to be linear and mineral offering delicate floral and orchard fruit aromatics. Its village and premier cru vineyard area total slightly over 200 hectares but almost half of them are premier cru making them one of the highest proportions of quality vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. Several grand cru vineyards are present, the most notable being Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachetwhich it shares with neighbouring Chassagne, but it does have the extraordinary Chevalier Montrachet and the tiny Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet all to itself. There are a handful of red wines grown, but they tend to be quite light and need to be drunk in their youth.
