TASTING NOTES:
Pale, bright yellow. Riper and deeper on the nose than the Sous le Dos d’Ane, offering aromas of peach, smoke and white pepper. A step up in intensity and texture as well, but still with very good definition and lift to its stone fruit flavors. A solidly built midweight.

The 2018 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Clavoillon has a lively nose with some lovely slate-like aromas drifting from the glass, followed by blackcurrant leaf and citrus lemon. The palate is well balanced with a light, slightly oily texture, moderate acidity, building in power toward the finish that never quite slips into fifth gear, at least not at this stage.
– Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 88-90 pts
