Producer Tasting Note:

A pale yellow colour. The nose of this complex wine is marked by notes of almond paste and yellow fruits with a nice woody note. Its round mouth, with aromas of grilled almonds, offers a nice freshness on the finish.

Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Aromas of white flowers, pear, iodine and pastry cream introduce the 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Sous le Puits, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine with a bright spine and a broad, saline finish."

90/100 points, William Kelley, WINE ADVOCATE, January 2023

"A cool and restrained Puligny-Montrachet, with delicate white-fruit and floral aromas. Sleek, linear and elegantly dry, the finish long and delicate, with floral and mineral nuances. Drink or hold."

94/100 points, James Suckling

Food Pairing:
