2020 Bruno Colin 1er Cru 'La Truffiere' Blanc Puligny-Montrachet

Winemaker Notes:  Golden hue and exceptional purity. A very precise wine. Mineral backbone and good complexity. The first nose is dominated by aromas of white flowers and licorice. The palate is full-bodied, smooth and rich with a delicate acidity that gives it a lively finish. This wine offers excellent ageing potential. Discreet peppery and woody notes evolve. Very persistent finish.

This plot is situated almost at the very top of the hillside, just below the Hameau de Blagny. This attractively-named appellation is cultivated on one of the smallest terroirs in Puligny (2.50 ha). It takes its name from the Truffe de Bourgogne (Burgundian truffle). Previously, in a time when there were less vineyards, the soils were very conducive to this type of mushroom.

12 months in oak barrels (between 20 and 25% new oak) and 3 to 6 months in vats.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "Smoky aromas of freshly sliced Granny Smith apples, citrus zest and elegant acacia blossom scents are complemented by the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that helps to buffer the lemon-tinged acidity supporting the bone-dry and sneaky long finale. This is finer and more sophisticated than the Blanchot but doesn't have the same power, size and throw weight. A qualitative choice though the two wines are very different. *Outstanding*"
