Tasting notes
Bright lemon-yellow color. Lemon and mineral aromas convey a light touch. Silky, suave and fully ripe; a bit sweeter than the village Chassagne but still quite classic. Best today on the building back half, where salty mineral and menthol flavors stain the palate and linger impressively. Marc Bachelet noted that he and his brother Alexandre made and aged their 2014s and 2015s in virtually identical fashion.

Very light nose. Pure and refined but a little reticent. Solid but undramatic. Bone dry. Ticks the boxes. (JR)
The 2014 Puligny-Montrachet Village comes from 14 parcels and had a more introspective, teritary nose than the Meursault Clos du Cromin. The palate is bright and vivacious on the entry with hints of peach and pear, good acidity but perhaps just lacking the same substance on the finish compared to the domaine's other 2014s. Let's see how this is in bottle.
Healthy bright yellow; darker than the Chassagne. Sexy aromas and flavors of musky peach and spices. Plush, smooth and very dry in the mouth, conveying a tactile quality to its sappy, savory stone fruit flavors. Finishes fine and long, with noteworthy depth. A higher percentage of old vines here.
