The Puligny Montrachet exhibits a sweet, roasted apricot nose followed by an explosion of toasted, spiced apples in the mouth. This medium-bodied wine should be drunk between its release and 2002. For those who don't know the aroma and flavor signatures of the three main white wine Cote d'Or villages, I recommend trying the 1995 Latour Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne offerings side by side as they are representative of their respective terroirs.
This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. At Louis Latour the wine making is entrusted to Jean-Pierre Jobard, the brother of Francois and Charles Jobard, two well-known names in Meursault. Jobard commented that the acid in 1995 reminded him of the 1988.
Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.
