"Ripe but cutting white-peach, lemon and yellow-apple flavors are struck by delicate hints of smoke, crushed stone and charred vanilla bean in this opulent village-level Burgundy. Matured 12 months in 25% new French oak, this rich, densely structured wine is brightened by streaks of zesty acidity. It's at peak now-2029. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"A classic, ripe wood-aged wine, this is balanced between the toastiness and rich yellow fruits. A touch of minerality will enhance the texture as the wine matures. Packed with fruit, it will be ready from 2021. Roger Voss"

"One of the trio of great white wine villages in the Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet makes the most classical wines. This village wine has the best of all worlds with its generous fruit and beautifully taut texture. It's ready to drink but will also age well. Drink now and until 2022."

"Along with all the ripe fruit in the wine, there is a kernel of serious structure. That gives the wine minerality, textured acidity lying over the depth of white fruits. Toast adds extra complexity before a crisp aftertaste."

"(2006) Cork says 'Clos de Garenne' so is this a de-classified 1er Cru? Sumptuous nose of creamy, fragrant oak. Touches of vanilla and butter. The palate has a lovely quality of ripe, full, buttery per fruit. Lots of cool, classy definition to this wine, with a nutty edge to the palate and plenty of crisp orchard fruit acidity. Very good length here, and delicious and quite complex."

"The nose is a little shy, showing only hints of honey, cream and toast. The wine becomes more assertive on the palate, adding layers of apple, pear and citrus, and gradually showing ample richness and depth. Finishes with hints of lemon and toast."
