Tasting notes
Bright pale-medium yellow. Ripe peach, orange blossom and a hint of nutty oak on the nose. Rich, round and fairly dry, offering a silky texture and very good volume to its pineapple and soft citrus flavors. More pliant and supple than the village Puligny but not quite as penetrating or gripping. Finishes classically dry but rather easygoing.

Broad and scented and quite rich. Flattering and a decent price. Easy to like. Spreads across the palate. (JR)
Fresh aromas of peach and ginger. Fruit-driven, ripe and dense, with a creamy texture to the flavors of yellow peach and orange. The persistent finish shows a slight bitterness. This is more about fruits than minerals.
