Burghound: 93-96 Points
Here too the nose is cool and restrained with a discreet application of wood framing the beautifully layered aromas of honeysuckle white peach citrus confit spice and a variety of floral nuances and in particular acacia blossom. The refined and strikingly textured medium weight flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration before terminating in a highly persistent impeccably well-balanced and markedly dry but not really austere finale. This beauty is quite understated with the requisite balance and underlying material to reward long-term keeping. In short this is potentially brilliant. (Drink starting 2034)
vVinous: 95 Points
The 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a subtle menthol note in the background indicative of the concentration bestowed by the growing season. There's a hint of exoticism yet it doesn't overwhelm the terroir expression. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a wonderful umami sensation and razor-sharp acidity (incredible in a warm vintage). It is harmonious with a lightly spiced finish and traces of Vervane and white pepper on the aftertaste. Quite mercurial in the glass I would give this 3-4 years in bottle. (Drink between 2028-2048)
