Bursting with notes of pear, orange oil, white flowers and toast, the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Village is medium to full-bodied, charming and enveloping, with succulent acids and a textural, giving profile. It will drink well young.

Exuberant aromas of pear, citrus zest, white flowers and toasty oak introduce the 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Village, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy but precise wine that's charming and open-knit. Ripe and generous, this will drink well young.

The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Village reveals a pretty bouquet of white peach, lemon, citrus blossom and beeswax. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, elegant and glossy, with an open-knit, succulent profile. This will drink well on release.

The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Village felt quite austere on the nose following on from the Meursault and Chassagne-Montachet. This feels aloof and distant, then again, that can be attractive in the right setting. The palate is crisp on the entry with light peach and rosewater notes. There is more going on on the finish here, and there is a pleasant spicy tang on the aftertaste. Give it a year in bottle for the aromatics to develop.

The 2015 Puligny Montrachet Village has a delightful linden and lemon zest bouquet with a squeeze of fresh lime for good measure. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine line of acidity that imbues this village cru with a touch more brightness than the Meursault, if not the same weight or viscosity. Nevertheless, this is a well-crafted Puligny from Drouhin that should represent good value for money once in bottle.
