2001 Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru

(aging in 60% new oak) Peach and smoky oak on the nose. Fat, dense and sweet, but with a steely spine. In a drier Puligny style ("more violent" was how Pillot described it), and likely to require several years of bottle aging. Finishes firm, subtle and very long, with an impression of dryness and firm acidity.
