Score 86-88/100 · Drink 2000-2006, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2000
The yellow fruit and acacia blossom-scented Puligny-Montrachet Perrieres is a rich, concentrated, well-focused and defined wine. Pears and peaches vie for the taster's attention in this beautifully fashioned effort. It would have merited a more exalted review were it not for an almost tannic dryness in the finish. Projected maturity: now-2006.
