Mid lemon and lime. Quite strict, quite electric, even though the family origin (one of two provenances picked on different dates) is picked quite late, as shows in the extra volume on the palate. Nevertheless, the 2023 Pucelles has retained acidity and the generosity is appealing. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 1er Cru has a clean, precise bouquet with freshly sliced pear and Granny Smiths, showing fine delineation and focus. That said, amongst the Puligny Premier Crus, this will need time. The palate is very well balanced with a tensile entry, quite steely and focused, with hints of yellow fruit betraying that summer's warmth toward the poised finish. Very fine.
