Rare and difficult to find as only 288 bottles of the Puligny Montrachet were made. This is Adrien his first vintage. Well, on his own feet then. He produced 20 before this all around the world.
Exciting new micro-négoce? Take my money please. Sort of. Because it’s more often hype than not here in Burgundy.
Not in this case. Even though the wine is quiet and muted upon opening — you can feel all its potential hiding behind. So we ask for the decanter.
With a good 10 minutes in the decanter the show begins. There’s lots of hot ripe lemon. You know that lemon that just comes out of the oven? That’s it. With that, white nectarine, touch of unripe peach and mirabel plum that only gets stronger and stronger with time. Wow.
There’s a small hint of reduction that’s beautifully managed. Adrien was the cellar master at PYCM. Who know their reduction. I had a PYCM just before, but that’s for another time. It’s less reduced than the PYCM wines, but ever so beautiful.
There’s a touch of almond paste and hazelnut. The hazelnut oozes through. Again wow. You can keep coming for more.
On the palette, it’s creamy and buttery with a touch of bitterness. All of that is brought alive by an energetic acidity that keeps the palette fresh but brings back the flavors all over flavortown.
Without surprise the finish is long, juicy and the lemon and mirabel-character linger on.
Cellar this for 5+ years, if you can resist. Because this is really delicious stuff. And is it hyped? For sure. But overhyped? Definitely not.
