The 2010 Cheval des Andes is produced with grapes grown at an old vineyard (planted in 1929) at Las Compuertas

rose water

orange marmalade and candied flowers

serious and youthfully austere finish makes clear that this is definitely built-to- age

A first sample of this wine showed some porty high tones but this one is refined and pure

Francois Carillon, Puligny Montrachet other_regions_australia The 2010 Cheval des Andes(from 8 different lieux dits that total a whopping 5 ha). There is a whiff of the exotic in the form of passion fruit present on the acacia blossom and citrus peel inflected nose. There is again very good volume as well as a relatively sophisticated mouthfeel to the middle weight flavors where the seductive and lingering finish is supported by a moderately firm acid spine. This is an excellent Puligny villages and recommended.
