The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles unwinds in the glass with aromas of pear, peach and green apple mingled with white flowers, freshly baked bread and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a layered, charming mid-palate and a precise finish, it's a charming, seamless wine in the making. William Kelley
Prominent notes of honeysuckle, Granny Smith apples, spice and a plenitude of spice elements are similarly wonderfully fresh and bright. The rich, delicious and succulent medium-bodied flavors also possess a highly sophisticated mouthfeel along with ample punch on the finely detailed, focused and hugely long finish. This too is a wine of class and grace that should age effortlessly over the next 12 to 15 years. A stunner of a Pucelles.
A vineyard heavily infected by viruses, reducing yield and resulting in the medium-term catch-22 of non-viable yield with superb quality and concentration. Tank sample.
Every step is a step up here. Pucelles is immensely concentrated, the richest so far but absolutely contained by a lashing of precise, linear acidity. (MH)
