Tasting notes
With regard to the wines, The Woodsman has a decent but not extensive list. I appreciate that they are completely open to corkage with a very reasonable charge, prompting me to scarper to a local wine shop where I found a bottle of 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Hubert Lamy priced about one-third of its current market value. I was taken by this from barrel, so it was a chance to revisit the wine in bottle. It showcases Olivier Lamy’s brilliance. Much more tensile than you would expect from a warm vintage, this bursts from the glass with freshly-sliced Conference pear, crushed limestone and oyster shell scents. Say what you like about Burgundy, but no other region delivers aromatics like this. The palate is brilliantly defined with poise and a sense of electricity that keeps drawing you back for another sip. And this is not even the Haut-Densité incarnation!

Mingling aromas of pear and mandarin with hints of buttered toast and hazelnuts, Lamy's 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with tangy acids and a tightly wound, incisive profile. Concluding with a saline finish, this is well worth seeking out.
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots Vieilles Vignes had just completed its malolactic when I visited at the end of October. It has a pithy, pear and red apple scented bouquet with a light sea spray note. The palate is well balanced with sour lemon, orange zest and a long saline finish. This is a tremendous Puligny that should age with style.
