Our Score
(8/2018) This wine is produced by famed Meursault vigneron Vincent Bouzeron. We tasted with Vincent in his cellar earlier this year and wanted to buy every wine he makes. This guy is a rockstar, and his 2016 Puligny-Montrachet - sourced from hand worked vineyards near the top of the slope, just above Folatieres - can hang with the best. Fermentation is traditional, with native yeasts only. Raised in barrel, roughly 25% of which was new, this luxurious and tense Chardonnay delivers complex fruit and mineral tones with a nervy chalk spine throughout. Long, youthful and delicious, this wine will drink fantastically through 2028.

(4/2018) "Alain Chavy's cellar is unusually deep for Puligny, 18 feet underground, providing a cold delay to the start of malolactic fermentation, lengthening the slow evolution of this wine in 228-liter barrels and 400-liter puncheons. Chavy inoculates his fermentations, and lets the wine rest with little lees stirring, creating a Puligny with clarity and energy. Not to mention the most glorious, floral buzz. That scent only gets more inviting and seductive as the wine opens over the course of several days, its flinty reduction turned away from the shadows toward the sun. It's worth the price of admission just to smell this wine, and it should reward long cellaring."
