The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrières 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet that shows more intensity than the 2013, with scents of freshly sliced lime and struck flint. A menthol hint emerges with time. The palate is well balanced with a slightly minty opening. This is imbued with a fine bead of acidity, crisp and malic with a saline tang on the finish. This is turning into a really quite excellent Les Perrières. Tasted at Charles Taylor Wines' Carillon lunch. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2023)
