we didnt have to select nearly as laboriously as we had anticipated

dried black cherry and worn-in leather are the signatures of a wine with a fair bit of bottle age

plum and cassis notes that really stick with you

Vougeraie, Puligny Montrachet Vintage:2017 we didnt have to select(from Noyer Bret and La Rue aux Vaches). Reduction pushes the fruit to the background and renders the nose impossible to assess. On the plus side there is both good freshness and verve to the delicious and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that offer fine persistence on the clean and dry if only moderately complex finish. This too should drink well on the early side while being able to repay a few years of cellaring. (87 90) 2019+
