The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Villages has a crisp, quite animated bouquet with wet pavement and Granny Smith scents gently unfolding on the nose. It needs just a bit of coaxing. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, though it doesn't achieve the same degree of complexity as some of the previous vintages. Nevertheless, this is well balanced with good weight. Maybe it has more to give?(NM)

Note: from 8 different lieux-dits though Les Meix, located just below Pucelles, is the largest contributor. Smoky aromas of acacia blossom, just sliced apple and a whiff of grated zest are complemented by more voluminous and richer medium weight flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts mildly with the clean, dry and youthfully austere finale. This too could use better depth so at least a few years of keeping are recommended. Worth a look.*Burghound Outstanding!*
