Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles – 2007

Decanter
5 stars

“Eric Remy has engineered some superb ’07s. Pucelles is my pick of the premiers crus on account of its stony minerality and socking acidity, which keeps the awesome fruit in check. A wine that expands relentlessly on the palate.”

"A mild hint of exotic fruit together with honeysuckle and slight oak influences…rich, full and notably generous medium weight…firm acid spine on the wonderfully fine and lingering finish. A lacy, long and stylish wine of finesse rather than power."

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru – 2007

Burghound.com
91-94 points

“This is also on the ripe side for a 2007 with an ultra elegant nose that is pure, airy and cool, indeed this is unusually elegant for the appellation with its white flower, citrus, pear and light spice hints that are in perfect keeping with the rich, full and broad-shouldered flavors that possess the usual volume and power of a classic Bâtard but do not lose any of the precision or detail on the expansive, mouth coating and hugely long finish. Like a number of examples in 2007, this is an elegant Bâtard.”

"This is notably more elegant, refined and complex with only a trace of exoticism to the mostly white flower and peach aromas that are followed by textured, pure, detailed and delineated flavors... knockout finish."

"The balance of this wine is what makes it so impressive...There is a core of tight, coiled steel, like a spring, which gives minerality along with the richness. At the end, acidity lifts the wine, finishing with freshness as well as intensity."

“Taut and mineral, this is currently a wine that is waiting to reveal its power and majesty. The fruit is on a tight rein of acidity, which only slowly opens up to show mango, pineapple, crisp citrus, layers of toast and a mouth-enveloping richness.”

“A rich, mouthfilling, sophisticated wine. The secret is in the balance, with the concentrated fruit flavors—dried apricot, mango and lemon—in just the right proportion. It tastes delicious now, but will certainly age over five years or more.”

“A superb wine. It opens slowly in the mouth, revealing layers of toast followed by intense white and green fruits. Spice and nutmeg accent the kiwi, pepper and pineapple notes, all concentrated around a core of minerality.”

Wine Spectator
95 points, Collectible

“Solid and compact right now, this is a powerful, concentrated white, showing a chalk flavor under the butter and apricot. Gathers speed across the palate, building to a long finish. Needs time to integrate and realize its full potential.”
