Pernot/Paul Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Pucelles 2020

94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .28 ha parcel of 35+ year old vines).A slightly more elegant nose expresses aromas of honeysuckle, passion fruit, Asian style tea and cool essence of poached pear wisps. The caressing and highly seductive medium-bodied flavors possess a wonderfully sophisticated mouthfeel while delivering absolutely superb length on the balanced finale that has that element of 'presence'. Lovely juice with fine development potential. Drink: 2027+. (Jun 2022)"

91 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Clear light bright colour. A nose with some distinction but not much exuberance. A little fruit ripeness then starts to emerge, with a little sucrosity behind, icing sugar on white fruit. Enough acidity, but I am missing the nobility of this potentially great vineyard Tasted: October 2021. (Dec 2021)"

Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report): "(A little more oak, maybe 35% vs the 20% of the previous 1ers). Still not a really open nose but there’s quite some minerality in the width. Melting over the palate, mineral but sinuous and still accommodating. Wide, lip-smacking, interesting in the finish. Love the feeling of this in the mouth. (Nov 2021)"
