Tasting notes
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres comes from a single hectare of vines planted in the 1950s. I often feel their Puligny is overlooked simply for the crime of not being "Meursault." The bouquet is very precise and focused, offering Golden Delicious apple, honeysuckle and light fennel scents, plus faint orange blossom aromas. The palate is powerful and intense with a fine bead of acidity, hints of praline infusing the slightly peachy fruit, and then coheres beautifully toward the persistent finish. This is simply an outstanding Puligny-Montrachet that effortlessly punches at Premier Cru level.

The brilliant 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignières exhibits notes of lemon oil, green pear, fresh pastry and warm bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tensile and incisive palate that's attractively satiny, with terrific concentration and depth at the core. After the frost-impacted 2016 vintage, the 2017 represents a more classically proportioned Enseignières from Coche-Dury.
