Note di degustazione
Marc Morey 2007 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles displays a pungent, vibratory intensity of citrus zest, bitter-sweet liquid iris perfume, and chalk dust playing against ripe peach and rich nuttiness. Here the generosity that characterizes most of the current collection finds an appropriate level of intrigue, along with a lift, elegance, and seamless, effortless refinement that transcends what went before. Bernard Mollard began picking September 3 and brought in his crop in short order, in the end chaptalizing no more than half a degree. His wines underwent malolactic conversion already by early Spring – typical at this domaine – and were bottled at one year. The estate’s acreage is supplemented by contracts on five parcels in which they officially act as negociant, but exercise considerable control. “I like the way 2007 respects the terroir,” comments Mollard. “You can well tell the difference from one site to another.” I don’t disagree in general, but a more obvious feature of his 2007 collection – and a very flattering one – is sheer forwardness of ripe fruit, which results in a very strong family resemblance.

Pale straw color. Ripe aromas of peach and orange blossom are lifted by a floral perfume and complicated by a steely nuance. Juicy, bright and firm, with rather bracing acidity that is nonetheless nicely integrated with the wine's fruit. Perhaps less deep than the Virondot but easier to taste today. Sabine describes this wine as "a bit more evolved" than the Virondot and notes that these vines were replanted in 2000 with five clones.
(a majority of these vines were planted in 1989 and 1990 but about 30% date back to 1959) Pale, bright yellow. Yellow peach, vanilla and spicy oak on the nose, with almost muscat-like notes of orange and iris. Suave on entry, then intensely flavored and firm in the middle, with very good energy to the spicy and floral flavors. Very nicely integrated acidity gives this wine a pleasing balance. Finishes with subtle length.
