FEATURES
The 2015 vintage in Burgundy was truly exceptional, hailed as "extraordinary" and even "legendary". Despite a hot, dry July with fierce temperatures, the conditions cooled significantly in August with welcome rainfall, allowing for optimal ripening. White wines from this vintage are generally characterized by their ripe, sunny, and fruity profiles with gentle acidity, with the finest examples embodying classic white Burgundy characteristics. These wines are enjoyable now but possess excellent potential for long-term cellaring. 【Legendary 2015 Burgundy vintage quality】
This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru presents a forward, floral bouquet featuring notes of yellow flowers, yellow plum, orange peel, and a subtle hint of toffee apple. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced with a sappy entry, a fine thread of acidity, and spicy undertones that lead to an impressively persistent finish. Critics have described it as seamless, showcasing flavors of orange peel, lemon curd, peach, floral elements, and baking spices, all supported by vibrant acidity. The Wine Advocate highlights aromas of preserved citrus, white flowers, and wet limestone, leading to a full-bodied, taut, and electric palate with remarkable energy and a deep, chalky finish.
