A more elegant and floral-suffused nose offers up in citrus, wet stone, spice, citrus and whiffs of acacia blossom. The delicious and vibrant, if not especially dense, flavors also flash plenty of minerality on the detailed and nicely dry finale that isn't particularly persistent. This is usually one of my preferred wines chez Colin but in 2024, it doesn't appear to be quite at its usual excellent level.

The 2024 Puligny-Montrachet Le Trézin has a slightly austere nose that, despite coaxing, just feels a bit unresponsive. The palate is fresh on the entry with Granny Smith apples and pear. This feels fresh and saline and delivers a moreish, cohesive finish that bodes well for the future when, hopefully, the aromatics will find their voice.(NM)
