Green-tinged pale color. Flowers, mint, herbs, honeysuckle and tangerine on the nose. Dense but bright, thanks to bracing acids. Flavors are pure and reserved, but more steely and perhaps less ripe than those of the Combettes. Very Puligny! Finishes with lovely sweetness but also a hint of citric austerity.
