The 1999 Puligny Montrachet Les Enseigneres, from a vineyard that is "the greatest call girl I have ever met," according to Jean-Marie Guffens, boasts a toasty mineral and super-ripe white and yellow fruit-scented nose. Candied pears and minerals can be found in this plump, sexy wine. It is forward, lush, and softly-textured. Drink it over the next 5 years.
