Colin/Bruno Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Truffière 2020

94 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "The wine has a pronounced lemon peel and mineral nose of impressive concentration, and on the palate there is a lively, fresh acidity tempered by pleasant richness and breadth. The dynamic equilibrium leads this to a lingering, satisfying finish. Bruno Colin farms nearly a half-hectare of vines in Puligny La Truffière, located far up the slope, almost in Blagny. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in cask (15% new) before ageing for 17 months. Drinking Window: 2023-2040. (Nov 2021)"

'Outstanding'/93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 2 parcels of vines, one of which is 40+ years old and the other is still relatively young). Smoky aromas of freshly sliced Granny Smith apples, citrus zest and elegant acacia blossom scents are complemented by the beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that helps to buffer the lemon-tinged acidity supporting the bone-dry and sneaky long finale. This is finer and more sophisticated than the Blanchot but doesn't have the same power, size and throw weight. A qualitative choice though the two wines are very different. Drink: 2030+. (Jun 2022)"

93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The Puligny-Montrachet La Truffière 2020 asserts its finesse and elegance, conveying the refinement expected of this terroir.. (2023)"
