Tasting notes
The medium-to-full-bodied 1999 Puligny-Montrachet Enseigneres exhibits shy white fruit aromas. It is luscious, with a satin-textured character filled with poached pears, candied apples, anise, and acacia blossoms. A plump, sexy wine with no sharp edges, it seamlessly rolls across the taster's palate spreading out its soft, sweet flavors. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel (212) 924-4949.

Peach, spice, mint and licorice aromas. Sweetly spicy and nicely concentrated, with lively acidity leavening the wine's ripeness. Not especially complex but intensely flavored. Persistent, slightly aggressive finish.
