A Bolt of Precision.
This Puligny doesn’t stroll in—it strikes. Think green apple orchards and lemon groves after a thunderstorm. Lime zest zips across the palate like a sports car, while flinty minerality, graphite and a whisper of eucalyptus ground the experience with sophistication. Medium-bodied but bone dry, it’s thrillingly taut, deeply refreshing, and effortlessly elegant.
📍 The Plot
From one of Burgundy’s most sought-after winemakers, this Puligny-Montrachet has all the hallmarks of PYCM: low-yield precision, meticulous élevage, and that signature reductive snap. Fermented and aged in oak with subtle new wood, it’s a wine that balances flair with focus—and will continue evolve beautifully over the next 5+ years.
Ben’s Review:
This wine doesn’t just show up—it makes an entrance. Imagine a bone-dry landscape where a lightning bolt of acidity strikes, leaving a fresh orchard of green apples and citrus groves in its wake. The lemon and lime notes zip around like tiny sports cars, sharp and exhilarating, but never out of control.
Then, there’s the minerality—a serious, no-nonsense character. Flint, wet stone, and graphite join the party, grounding the whole experience with a sense of refinement. It’s as if someone took the cleanest mountain stream, added a dash of eucalyptus for intrigue, and then bottled it with just the right amount of medium body to keep it approachable yet endlessly elegant.
It’s poised, it’s thrilling, and it doesn’t just develop over an evening—it evolves like a well-written poem. If wines could have personalities, this one would be James Bond: suave, sharp, and unshakably sophisticated.
Verdict? If you’re lucky enough to have a bottle, savour every moment—it’s one you won’t forget.
