(WA93-95 points) The 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Pucelle has an attractive earthiness on the nose -- quite brilliantly defined, very focused but somehow broody and introspective compared to its peers. The palate is very fresh on the entry with brisk acidity, very focused and lively; there is a sense of energy here and disarming mineralité, leading to a long saline finish. This is just so unmistakably Puligny and simply a beautifully crafted wine with a long future ahead. - Neal Martin

As much about the supple texture and integration of all the elements as the bright peach, melon, floral and lilting spice flavors. Almost seamless from beginning to end, with lively acidity propelling the citrus- and spice-infused finish. Best from 2018 through 2027. 185 cases made. –BS

The 2014 vintage is really exceptional for the Clos de la Pucelle. The stunning nose offers up a youthfully complex blend of pear, white peach, a touch of orange zest, fresh almond, incipient pastry cream, chalky minerality and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and utterly classic in profile, with a superb core, a lovely girdle of acidity, great focus and grip and a very long, very pure and racy finish. This is still a puppy and should be tucked away for a handful of years in the cellar to really let it blossom completely. Great juice! (Drink between 2021-2050)
