From the family, the oldest vines which grandfather Paul planted, in 1954. Pale in colour, with a bouquet as much redolent of stones as of fruit. Racy and stony on the palate too with good tension, less ripe grapes it seems, but with good persistence. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Chalumaux 1er Cru is a cuvée coming from the Pernot family. This has a very enticing bouquet with crushed stone, flint and light oyster shell scents that could only come from Puligny. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. The oak comes through a little more here (two new out of six barrels), so give it time to fully integrate.
