The 2009 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrieres is a striking weightless wine graced with exquisite finesse in its aromas and flavors. Crystaline and impeccably pure the Perrieres impresses for its textural elegance and finely-cut minerality. This shows tremendous persistence in a focused horizontal style that is undeniably appealing. The high rock content in this well-draining parcel seems to come through in spades. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. â_"AG

A highly expressive nose of white peach pear and acacia blossom aromas jump from the glass to reveal the rich and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors that retain a fine sense of underlying tension and in particular plenty of minerality and verve on the focused linear and equally stony finish. This is akin to rolling rocks around in your mouth. (Outstanding âT¥)
