🏰 The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was described as a classic white vintage, offering lovely fruit and a nice tension. Jean Chartron's Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Clos de la Pucelle" 2013 presents a medium lemon colour. It boasts an explosive and captivating nose with an ideal addition of oak aromas, revealing a complex, multilayered character of toasted wood, peach, white flowers, and white pepper. On the palate, it is a fantastic, medium-bodied wine with persistence and power, yet an elegant character. Intense aromas of nectarine, ripe peach, and savoury oak notes like vanilla and cinnamon are delicious, supported by high and perfectly integrated acidity. The aftertaste is long and complex. Other notes highlight a first-class bouquet of lemon, apple, pear, chalky soil tones, lemon blossoms, and vanillin oak, with outstanding focus and grip. 【A rare 'monopole' Premier Cru vineyard in Burgundy, offering exceptional complexity and aging potential.】 🍴 This superb white Burgundy is a versatile food companion.
