Tasting notes
The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Haute Densité from Domaine Hubert Lamy rivets you to the spot with intense lemon, crushed stone and subtle spicy notes, leaping from the glass with vim and vigour. The palate is beautifully balanced, achingly young, sharp and brilliantly defined on the finish. Broaching this now, you feel like you are only on the first pages of a gripping novel. Superb.

The 2016 Puligny Montrachet Les Tremblots Haut Densité was backward on the nose despite coaxing. The palate is much more responsive with green apple and oyster shell notes, a strong marine influence at play here with a tangy saline finish that will keep you coming back for more. Good potential, but give it 2 or 3 years for the nose to open.
Pale lemon-yellow. Rather forbidding scents of lemon, crushed rock and spices. Displays almost painful citric cut in the mouth, along with a wild metallic quality, a saline component and a leathery nuance. The penetrating citrus and stone finish displays terrific grip and saline persistence. Another remarkable village wine in the making. Lamy noted that these densely planted vines produced a higher yield than usual, but still only 30 hectoliters per hectare.
