J-L & F Chavy Puligny-Montrachet Les Clavoillons 2018

Creaminess and smokiness seem to dominate the nose on this wine while lemony flashes spell freshness. The palate expands into a fragrant cloud of chalk, cream and mellowness, surrounded by gentle smokiness and lemon brightness. It’s alluring and precise.

Plush, with a creamy texture wrapped around butterscotch, peach, apple tart and lemon aromas and flavors. Racy acidity drives the finish, which is complex, balanced and long. Should be terrific when the two halves harmonize.
