Paul Pernot | Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Purcelles 2004

PV Tasting Notes

Pale, green-tinged color. Musky, heady, spicy aromas of lemon cream, flowers and hazelnut; much more sexy, complex and expressive than most fine Burgundies. Fatter, riper and sweeter on the palate than many and much easier to taste today. Fruit and mineral flavors are lifted by a floral element. Very harmonious Premier cru with an enticing sugar/acid balance. Persistent, stony aftertaste.

Riper aromas of nectarine and lemon cream. Sweet and broad but with excellent inner-mouth energy; a step up in intensity and richness from the Folatieres. Here the pure fruit and stone flavors show little sign of oak influence. Finishes with sneaky, palate-saturating persistence and a lovely light touch.
