The 2001 Puligny-Montrachet La Truffiere reveals fresh scents of lemons and minerals. Medium-bodied, exhibiting outstanding depth and purity of flavors, this wine offers loads of spiced lemons in its character. Unlike the majority of citrus-based 2001s, this effort is neither compressed nor acidic. Its satin-textured personality is flavorful, delineated, and long. Projected maturity: now-2008. Maison Louis Latour appears to have faired significantly better than many of its fellow negociants in 2001. "We are very surprised, these were hugely acidic prior to malolactic fermentation but really good afterwards," said Jean-Pierre Jobard, Latour's winemaker. His boss, this firm's director, Louis-Fabrice Latour, added that "we've come to love the 2001 whites with time, they keep improving during elevage and we find that there is, in this vintage, a large step in quality between the village AOC wines and the premier crus." Maison Louis Latour has a different importer in each state.
