Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Very ripe stone fruits plus a hint of lichee on the nose. Less exotic on the palate owing to saline minerality, with the stone fruit flavors displaying slightly elevated alcohol but no lack of energy. Finishes a touch phenolic, with moderate complexity but an intriguing saline character.

The 2015 Puligny Montrachet Village has a delightful linden and lemon zest bouquet with a squeeze of fresh lime for good measure. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity that imbues this village cru with a touch more brightness than the Meursault, if not the same weight or viscosity. Nevertheless, this is a well-crafted Puligny from Drouhin that should represent good value for money once in bottle.
Sample. Pleasing and fairly complex honeysuckle nose with a bone-dry palate. A little more relaxed than many. (JR)
