Tasting notes
Good pale color. Crushed rock, pear, menthol and mirabelle on the slightly blurry nose. Gives a sweet impression on entry, then shows less tension and definition in the mid-palate than the Puligny villages , not to mention finesse. The stone fruit flavors lead to a somewhat warm finish, with modest grip.

Delicate, fine lemon and stony aroma with a hint of melon. Fine grained, refreshingly a little sour on the finish. Well balanced and not at all thin though it’s quite sinewy. (JH)
