2021 Domaine Jean Chartron ‘1er Cru Clos de La Pucelle’ Puligny-Montrachet

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Decanter - "This delicious wine puts the emphasis firmly on citrus and mineral on the initial attack, while the texture on the palate opens up to show concentration, breadth, and spice. The grapes come from a 1.16-hectare plot at the northern end of the vineyard that the family has owned since 1917. Portions have been replanted over time, and the oldest vines date to the ‘50s and ‘60s. The fruit is gently pressed, and the must settled overnight before fermentation in cask (25% new) with relatively few lees.."


Burghound - "Cool, elegant and airy aromas are composed of honeysuckle, anise, apple, pear and a hint of jasmine. There is slightly better volume and richness to the middleweight that retain excellent intensity on the beautifully well-balanced finale. I would add that I very much like the texture as it reveals the sheer class of a fine Puligny. *Sweet spot Outstanding*"
