Note di degustazione
Bright yellow. Expressive aromas of crystallized lemon peel and yellow rose. Powerful and penetrating in the mouth, but with noteworthy delicacy to the flavors of yellow fruits, minerals and crushed stone. A lovely mineral style of 2006 with a light touch, from fruit harvested early. Not at all a masculine version of Chevalier; this one's more like a ballerina. The '06s are opulent but the '05s are greater wines, opines Sauzet, adding that 2006 was a successful vintage in Puligny-Montrachet due to the minerality of the soils here.

An ultra fresh and ever-so-slightly riper nose offers up primarily floral and citrus aromas where the latter element can also be found on the detailed, classy and intensely mineral-driven flavors that are wonderfully pure and infused with considerable energy, indeed there is amply underlying tension to the fine and almost delicate finish. This is certainly a wine of immense refinement but it doesn't quite have the same superb depth of its grands crus counterparts. Still, this is most impressive and also has a distinct character.
