Tasting notes
Superripe aromas of peach, stone and nutty oak, with a suggestion of petrol; a bit less pristine than the Truffiere. Fat, lush, broad and sweet; bigger and richer than the Truffiere but not quite as precise. Finishes sweet, full and long. I'd start drinking this in three or four years and wait five or six for the Truffiere.

There are only three and a half barrels (87 cases) of the exceptional 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Demoiselles. Its intricate aromatic profile reveals a deep, spicy minerality. This fleshy, expansive, medium-bodied wine broadens on the taster’s palate, releasing intense layers of minerals, gravel, and spices. Seamless, harmonious, and exhibiting astounding length, this is one of the great efforts of Michel Colin’s 40-year career. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.
