Paul Pernot, Puligny Montrachet Chalumeaux Vintage:2022NA

cold for Los Angeles

serious and powerful yet refined medium weight plus flavors that possess fine length on the moderately structured and well-balanced finale

(most growers declare this as Montmains)

Give this 5-8 years of time before popping a cork and enjoy it for the next 20 years after that

The 2004 is intense

complex and beautifully persistent finish

The 1986 Cos d’Estournel replicates the performance from my 30-year on tasting that I conducted a few months back

that’s when he’s not in Russia

The 2001 is still fresh

The 2009 La Gaffelière has a rather over-the-top bouquet with smudged definition

This is aromatically similar to the Bâtard with the addition of a touch of mineral reduction

Somewhat curiously given that most of this is from Vaudésir
