Vinous Neal Martin - 17 Jan 24
The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Village, matured in 15% new oak, has a flint and forest floor-scented bouquet offering more vigor than the Bourgogne Blanc. The palate is fresh on the entry with a silver bead of acidity, green apple and a touch of bitter lemon, fanning out gently towards the more-ish finish.
