2013 Domaine Martelet de Chérisey Puligny-Montrachet Hameau de Blagny 1er Cru

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Bouilland. The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Hameau de Blagny was showing a little too much reduction on the nose, though underneath there is a good Puligny with impressive concentration. The palate is well balanced on the entry, though there is a slight oxidative element that becomes more pronounced towards the finish. This is rather vexing after a very decent showing in barrel. Tasted May 2016.
