Tasting notes
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru has a heavy SO2 reduction on the nose—too eggy for my liking. These aromas feel bound-up in the wine. Even returning after 20 minutes, that sulphur remains commanding. The palate has a sour lemon note on the entry. With only modest depth, this translates more about the winemaking than where it comes from, and the finish feels a tad short. This is a controversial wine that will divide. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières is showing well, unfurling in the glass with bright, gently reductive aromas of crisp orchard fruit, toasted nuts and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and incisive, with a lively spine of acidity and a saline finish, it's promising.
The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru sported a lot of reduction on the nose that made it difficult to read on my visit. The palate meanwhile, is clean and fresh, slightly reduced with a dense, concentrated orange pith and mandarin finish. That reduction will go by the time of bottling, although I am more convinced by some of the domaine's other cuvées at this early juncture.
