Generally would agree that this wine doesn’t come off with a lot of classic umph that one might expect from 1er Cru but the 1er Cru terroir of chassagne is there undoubtedly and this does give way to the classic opinion that Puligny is usually more overtly pleasurable than Chassagne. It is complicated by mineral with a nice tropical inflection and a subtle energy but it is not explosive. I enjoyed this with many different good foods and had a lovely time as always with a noble Chardonnay like this. Enjoyable and delicious and evolved nicely over 3 days with sushi, noodles, pork, and lots of vegetables.
