The 2019 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles offers up aromas of pear, citrus zest, fresh bread and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's bright and charming, with a lively, precise profile. This has turned out nicely.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles 2011 from Joseph Drouhin sports an attractive nose with scents of citrus peel and pink grapefruit. This is imbued with fine minerality, but you have the sense that it is holding something back. The palate is well balanced, slightly honeyed on the entry, a little richer than I expected. The finish is missing the precision and tension of a top-flight Puligny premier cru. This is a very fine Pucelles, but it does not quite have the class of others in this flight.

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners Kumeu/White Burgundy tasting. The 2007 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Pucelles from Drouhin has a soft, slightly buttery bouquet with white flowers and almond scents developing in the glass, but not attaining the subtle complexity of (what transpired to be) the Kumeu River Hunting Hill 2007. The palate is fresh with a lime and green apple opening, nicely weighted with a harmonious, marine-influenced, Chablis-like finish. This is a sophisticated Chardonnay with a longer future ahead than other white Burgundy 2007s recently encountered.

The aromatics of the 2002 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles consist of vanilla, coconut, and spices. This rich, medium-bodied, lush, oak-laced wine is soft, spicy, and reveals excellent to outstanding depth of fruit. It is a forward effort with lovely density and a terrific mouth-feel. Drink it over the next 6 years. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770

The 2000 Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles explodes from the glass with intense mineral, toast, and roasted white fruit aromas. Medium to full-bodied, rich, deep, and concentrated, this pain grille and gravel-flavored wine possesses a long, well-defined finish. Drink it over the next 8 years.
