2021 Joseph Drouhin Puligny-Montrachet Cote de Beaune

Winemaker Notes:  A wine of great finesse, distinguished and elegant. The color is pure and bright, with light glints of white gold. The aromas evoke trees in bloom and white flesh fruit, like white peaches. With age, the aromas evolve towards almond and lightly grilled dried fruit. On the palate, there is a sensation of fresh silkiness. Long and persistent in the aftertaste, ending on an exceptional wealth of flavors, both floral and fruity.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Villages has a finely-tuned nose, Granny Smiths intermixed with a very light gooseberry aroma. The Palate is crisp on the entry with a fine bead of acidity. Not overly complex, yet I appreciate its length and salinity. Enjoy over the next 6-8 years. (88-90pts)"


Burghound - "A more floral and more elegant nose reveals its aromas of essence of just sliced citrus, mineral reduction and crushed fennel nuance. There is a lovely sense of verve to the utterly delicious flavors that are especially dens but do possess a beguiling refinement as the innate class of Puligny if very much present on the very dry, focused and youthfully austere finale. This is lovely and worth considering. *Outstanding*"
