A notably ripe but still reasonably classic Pucelles nose of honeysuckle citrus and white orchard fruit aromas in particular pear leads to rich forward and wonderfully opulent medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that coats the palate on the refined and impressively long finish. As it always is this is a classy wine of finesse but with a generous side to it in 2009. - Comments: Outstanding ♥

The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Pucelles emerges from the glass with crystalline purity in its finely chiseled fruit. It possesses striking mid-palate energy and focus with sweet floral notes that add lift on the finish. This is a marvelously symmetrical well-balanced wine loaded with sheer class and personality. Best of all the Pucelles offers tremendous potential for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. 93+
