Chateau de Puligny-Montrachet Puligny-Montrachet 2015

The 2015 Puligny Montrachet is actually 80% declassified vines in the Chalumeaux vineyard. It has an expressive, granite and slate-tinged bouquet that is nicely focused, more intense than many village crus that I encountered during my visits. The palate is well balanced with vibrant acidity, very saline in the mouth with great nervosité on the finish. This is premier cru in quality and comes strongly recommended. It punches well above its weight and the quality of the terroir shows through. 

 A light touch in the cellar with less oak has brought out a purity in the wines that is just awesome. Tight, with very fine features of intense lemon bon-bons. One of the purest expressions of Chardonnay out there.
