Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Puligny Montrachet 1Er Cru les Perrieres has a fulsome bouquet with plenty of citrus fruit, fresh pear, granite and smoke scents, nicely defined and gaining more delineation as it blossoms in the glass. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry. It is terse, strict and linear but then again, that is why you come to Puligny. Delivering some lovely marine/oyster shell notes towards the finish, this is a superb wine that should age with style. Tasted May 2016. - Neal Martin
