Tasting notes
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Pucelle 1er Cru has a vivacious bouquet, well defined with touches of lemon thyme, crushed stone and a hint of dewy meadow. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Pretty apricot-tinged citrus-driven fruit with a dash of lemongrass segues into a very harmonious and quite persistent finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Pucelle 1er Cru, which is half the normal yield, sports a very subtle reduction on the nose, but there is fine delineation and focus here. The palate is well balanced with good weight, lime mixed with tangerine and nectarine, crisp acidity with a lightly spiced finish. There is real nobility evident here.
