2019 Domaine Thomas Collardot Puligny Montrachet au Paupillot

Located by the village of Puligny Montrachet on the right hand side as one drives from Meursault. Slight reduction that begins to blow off and first shows custard apple before beginning to show more detail in the form of dried florals. A wine with lovely tension and nervosity on the palate. Saline and skeletal with nowhere near as much puppy fat as most 2019s. While the nose will take some coaxing to unfurl and show detail, the palate is ready to go. Lovely and saline. -Jono Hersey, FWC Note: a rarely seen vineyard. A discreet if perceptible touch of wood sets off the essence of pear and apple aromas that are trimmed in hints of lemon-lime and soft floral wisps. There is good power to the slightly more concentrated medium weight flavors that conclude in a citrus zest suffused finish that also exhibits a touch of rusticity along with a hint of warmth. 89-91 points.
