Tasting notes
Very pale bright yellow. Crushed stone, minerals, lavender and a whiff of passion fruit on the nose. A fairly rich, tactile midweight, with plenty of power and stuffing but a smooth texture and very good rather than outstanding length. Very ripe and likeable wine.

Ripe but also delicately floral even though it becomes more buttery in the glass. Very inviting nose. Just a little smoky too. Tense and pretty tight. More linear than broad in the middle but pretty persistent in its restraint. (JH)
Vibrant aromas of lemon, lime and flowers. Suave and juicy, with good precision and cut to the citrus and floral flavors. Conveys an impression of fat without any excess weight thanks to its crisp, minerally acidity (4.0 grams after the malo, according to winemaker Prost). The Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet had not yet finished their secondary fermentations.
