"The 2011 Puligny villages was also still in tank at the start of April and was showing lovely potential on both the nose and palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a refined blend of lemon, tangerine, apple, lovely minerality, citrus blossoms and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, fresh and nicely balanced, with a good core, fine focus and good, but not great length on the elegant and silky finish. This too is a little lean in style, but I really like its personality and complexity. It may or may not put on a bit of weight with bottle age, but there is plenty of intensity here in any case and an awful lot to enjoy in the glass."
