This is also sufficiently reduced to completely overshadow the underlying fruit. On the palate there is terrific, indeed almost painful, intensity to the medium weight flavors that flash the innate refinement of a fine Puligny before culminating in a very clean, sleek, bone-dry and chiseled finale. This is presently very tightly wound and a wine that definitely will need at least some patience. Excellent and this is a step up from its usual quality. Barrel Sample: 91-94
Pale lemon and lime. Some grace to the bouquet though the detail is still to follow. The bouquet suggests just the right oaking. I can find a little fresh orange blossom, though predominantly white fruit, excellent grip behind and impeccable length. A Puligny with backbone, for sure. Barrel Sample: 93-94
The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon is lovely, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus zest and pear mingled with hints of white flowers, bread dough and wheat toast. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with racy acids and a fine-boned, elegant profile, it concludes with a long, saline finish.
This white evokes earth and stone flavors, along with peach, lemon and spice notes. Dense, with light tannins emerging on the butterscotch finish. A bit rigid now, yet vibrant and long.
