Tasting notes
The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Vieilles Vignes is a more steely, racy effort that has plenty of white currant and stone fruits as well as notes of honeysuckle, white flowers, and green almonds. With good mid-palate density, medium-bodied richness, and bright yet nicely integrated acidity, it’s an outstanding, balanced, beautiful Village wine to enjoy over the coming decade.

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Les Vieilles Vignes is still a little shut down after bottling, opening in the glass with notes of white peach, orange oil, wheat toast and pastry cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a delicately textural attack, lively acids and a long, precise finish. Even though this is one of the house's more accessible cuvées, it will really reward a year or two of bottle age with greater plenitude and expression.
