Abundant grapefruit on the nose and also on the palate. White chocolate and powdered sugar flavors, along with tropical banana elements. There is caramelized butter and lemon zest on the finish.
The 2012 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumeaux, which lies just next to Blagny, has a well-defined, precise bouquet that opens in the glass to reveal attractive smoke and granite aromas. The palate is crisp and focused on the entry with touches of apricot and tangerine. There is a fine lift on the finish that is lively and long in the mouth. This is a very satisfying Puligny that I suspect will offer much pleasure in its youth.
The grapes for this Chardonnay are picked near the appellation of Meursault. It is fruity and round and can be enjoyed as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to charcuterie, chicken and grilled fish. A great wine to enjoy with friends.

Good medium yellow. Ripe aromas of stone fruits and pear. A rich, generous fruit bomb in the mouth, with a slightly exotic fruit quality nicely countered by saline minerality. This ripe wine should also give early pleasure, but with its firm limey finish there should be no rush to drink it.
This wine is wonderfully elegant and pure with notes of lime, acacia blossom and roasted nut leading to precise, intense and precise flavors that remain round, accessible and intense yet possess the underlying tension and acid/fruit balance that suggests that this will reward 4 to 6 years of cellar time.
