Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 29, 2024 - Really great villages wine, very top quality. Opened at 1 and poured off a taste, pretty reductive so decanted and sealed til we got into at about 6:30. Pronounced marine minerality on the nose, assertive salt water, chalk, and sea shell. Also there is some fruit, but it’s subtle, some pineapple and hints of cantaloupe. I know that sounds weird but I’m talking about hints on the nose, the warm vintage gave this almost tropical nuance to whatever wisps of fruit are discernible. The body is very much Puligny, firm and lithe and for lack of a better word, more cylindrical and lean that what I experience with Chassagne and Meursault. It’s a perfectly composed and balanced wine on the nose and palate, so classy, and so dense and impactful in aroma and flavor without any excess weight at all. The lady drinking blind said “I was thinking this is Chablis because of the minerality on the nose but it doesn’t really taste like Chablis, the fruit is different.” I thought that was quite perceptive.
