Tasting notes
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru offers lime, nettle and crushed stone notes on the nose, tightly coiled at first but opening nicely with aeration. The palate is a little reductive at the moment, just lacks a bit of bite and doesn't quite match the aromatics, dipping prematurely at the finish line and leaving me wanting more. Again, I prefer the 2024 compared to this vintage.

The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières reveals aromas of white flowers, peach, crisp orchard fruits and hazelnuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate that's layered and soft, with a nicely saline finish.
Tank sample. Mid lemon. Nose of lemon, white flowers, apple and pastry. Quite fat and rich on the palate before being whisked off on a trail of fine zesty acidity with a sappy, mineral finish. (MH)
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru comes from a single plot. The nose never quite gets out of second gear, even after rigorous aeration, eventually revealing touches of cooking apple mixed with granite. The palate is balanced with fine weight, though I feel this just needs a little more concentration and grip on the finish to match previous vintages.
