Tasting notes
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Pucelle 1er Cru has a very succinct bouquet, bashful at first, yet one can tell there is a Puligny of pedigree waiting to uncoil with time. I get an almost overpowering lavender scent after 10 minutes in the glass. The palate has a twist of sour lemon on the entry. It’s powerful, but I feel that the constituent parts don't quite hang together. There is a touch of heat emerging toward the finish. I’m not sure whether time in bottle will meliorate this wine or undo its nuts and bolts. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Pucelle exhibits aromas of white flowers and citrus blossom mingled with almond paste and Myer lemon. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, it's an elegant, fine-boned Pucelle in this rich vintage.
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de La Pucelle 1er Cru has a classy, stony bouquet with traces of yellow plum and orange pith, one of the most detailed from Chartron this year. The palate is taut and linear with a fine bead of acidity, lightly spiced with a gentle grip on the dense finish. Excellent.
