(JG92-93 points) The 2004 Pucelles is a tad reduced as well, but clearly shows superb components underneath. The bouquet is quite minerally as well (not always the case for the more buxom Pucelles in its youth), offering up notes of peach, lemon, apple, crème patissière, minerals and a fine framing of oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and very transparent, with excellent depth at the core, crisp acids, and a very long, complex and impressive finish. Another superb bottle in the making- it will be interesting to see whether this or the Combettes ultimately hits the highest mark.
