Tasting notes
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Haut Densité has a very tightly wound and precise bouquet at first. The nose is backward with fleeting scents of cold wet limestone and sea spray, but it gradually gains intensity and articulates the vineyard. The palate is well balanced with strong saline notes, intense and focused with fine depth towards the finish. Excellent. There is just a single 350-litre barrel of this, around 450 bottles or so.

There is one barrel of the 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Haut Densité, an extraordinary wine that transcends its appellation. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of ripe lemons, dried white flowers and beeswax, the wine is medium to full-bodied, immensely layered and concentrated, with an electric sense of energy, incredible texture and a searingly mineral finish. The wine's combination of amplitude, satiny glossiness and weightlessness is magical, surpassing many grands crus, and despite its comparatively lowly appellation I have scored it accordingly.
