Note di degustazione
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Pucelle 1er Cru has a slightly more leesy bouquet compared to Olivier Leflaive's Pucelles and not quite the same level of definition. The palate is harmonious on the entry with lemon zest, lime and orange pith. Slightly spicy with a dab of lemongrass towards the finish. It does not quite possess the effortlessness of the finest Premier Crus. But, it has charm and perhaps that will see this through in the longer-term. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

Aromas of orange oil, lemon zest, green pear and freshly baked bread introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Pucelle, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping wine that's, as usual, the more textural and gourmand of Chartron's two emblematic clos. Broad but precise, it has turned out well.
The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Clos de la Pucelle 1er Cru felt a little awkward on the nose so soon after racking, and likewise the palate suggests that I should revisit this once it is more settled or in bottle. That said, you can feel the richness locked into this wine, so I look forward to tasting it again.
