The 2009 Puligny Montrachet comes across as a bit more taut than the Bourgogne. It shows good depth and minerality in a slightly lean, and surprisingly inward style for the year. This is a pretty, understated wine, but there is little of the radiance or exuberance of the year in the glass. The Puligny-Montrachet is made from a number of parcels in the villages that are vinified and aged separately and blended prior to blending.
There's plenty of lemon cake, apricot and lemon zest flavors in this white, with a hint of grapefruit. Shows good intensity through the finish.
