Puligny-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Medium straw lemon colour . This is quite rich on the nose with lemon pith , touch of smoke , ginger and creamy , honeysuckle notes . On the palate this shows more yellow fruits, peach , apricot and lemon , good acidity and balance. Quite intense and long with chalky touches. Drinking well now but still quite fruit dominated. A really good bottle , completely another experience than the overly advanced bottle last year , this one showing youth and freshness , ripeness and intensity . Lovely now but will continue and probably improve over the next 5-10 years .

Mar 13th, 2026Medium lemon yellow colour . This is more advanced than the last bottle I had of this in London in July. Unfortunately I didn’t write that one up ! Quite roasted toasty lemon peel , touch of caramel , also some peach and vanilla hints . On the palate this is slightly dense with some slightly saline hints, quite good intensity but seems quite clunky and lacks freshness. This actually improved slightly with a bit of time in the glass which made it overall difficult to evaluate. This is not correct, though was perfectly drinkable and most at the table really liked it , though they hadn’t had the benefit of having a true bottle a couple of months ago. On the basis of this bottle drink now and over the next few years. A pity , bottle variation can be a really frustrating thing.

Bursting with energy, rock forward, sharp as a knife. What will this be in 2022?
