The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Le Clos du Vieux Chateau hails from a parcel of old vines surrounded by high walls. It's an excellent wine that offers up complex notes of ripe lemons, candle wax, smoke, wet stones, white flowers and oatmeal. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny-textured and fleshy while remaining nicely mineral and precise, with excellent concentration and length, concluding with a saline finish. This is a first rate Puligny village.
