(from a .35 ha parcel on the Puligny side that sits directly above the parcel of Bienvenues-Bâtard- Montrachet). A more floral-suffused nose freely reveals its aromas of carnation, acacia and lilac with additional nose of the essence of pear and crushed fennel. The sleek, intense and impressively scaled flavors brim with sappy dry extract that seems to have no effect on the precision of the wonderfully long, bone-dry and superbly long and well-balanced finale. Like the BBM, this could use better depth but overall, it’s exceptionally promising.
À propos de Burghound.com
Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
