2001 Domaine Coche-Dury Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseigneres

Within the quartet of Puligny Enseignieres tasted, the 2001 Puligny-Montrachet les Enseignieres is the finest of them all. It has a brisk chalky, orange zest and apple-blossom nose that has so much vitality and energy that it does not know what to do with it all. The palate is extremely well-focused with an electrifying line of acidity, wonderful detail and a vibrant citrus and mineral-laden finish that is pure class. I can see this going the long haul. This is Puligny plugged directly into the mainline.

Not a expressive as the 2004 served alongside on the nose but wonderfully pungent the palate with even a bit of citrus peel on the palate – very refined though not that powerful. Very clean. (JR)
