2019 Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles
Buying options
Tasting notes
Touches of honeysuckle, pear, acacia and discreet spice wisps serve as an elegant introduction to the rich, opulent and sappy medium weight flavors that are suave, even seductive, on the compact, balanced and impressively long and complex finale. This classy effort should be approachable young if desired. (Heart - Sweet spot outstanding)

Bursting with expressive aromas of peaches, orange blossom, yellow orchard fruit and buttery pastry, Pernot's 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles is medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, with a round but lively profile. It's already showing nicely.
