Tasting notes
High-pitched aromas of flowers and nuts. Then supple, smooth and dry, with lovely peach fruit and a complicating whiff of oak. Very suave and light on its feet. Finishes with excellent length.

Combining elegance with concentration, power, and outstanding ripeness, the spiced apple and pear-scented 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Perrieres is a soft, satiny-textured, lush wine. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and packed with resiny minerals, this muscular yet refined offering is balanced, complex, and has a prolonged fruit-filled finish. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300
About the producer

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
