"The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères was served blind against the same wines from d'Auvenay and as it turned out, it was this that I scored the highest. It has a tight, focused, wet limestone-scented bouquet that has just a slight reduction, yet does not detract from its crystalline nature. The palate is beautifully defined. This is a Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères with a steely gaze then gently crescendos in the mouth .... This is an outstanding wine for the vintage."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
